Guessing this question is coming from non-big 4 firm partner, for mid tier this is a significant cost and investment to do public company audits, OP—may want to clarify non-big 4 in post for relevant insights

Correct. Should have asked non b4. Obviously b4 is not going to drop this practice.

Marcum is reducing! SEC and PCAOB are helping with that strategy!

At B4 as an audit partner I’m definitely not avoiding public jobs if I want to keep moving up the ladder.

I don’t see any B4 avoiding public co audits

Seems like “reducing book” or “avoiding” work is a hard way to move forward in your career. I certainly wouldn’t mind never getting inspected by PCAOB ever again. But hard to compete without it. I could see if you’re at a small firm avoiding taking on this work. But if you are a top 30ish firm with a sizable audit practice it seems hard to avoid unless you are in some niche markets like government or something.
