Does anyone else feel like the PCAOB is asking for absolute assurance? Feel like my career could crash and burn so easily since they keep moving the goal posts

I’ve always wondered whether the PCAOB:

- are legitimately trying to improve corporate governance and assurance the best they can;

- are completely out of touch with reality; or

- they just make stuff up plucking it out of thin air to increase the work their Big 4 partner mates are asked to do.

Haven’t quite gotten to a conclusive answer, but I’m guessing (being nice) that it’s a mix of the first two: they are genuinely trying to keep up to speed but they don’t know how. The requirement to take screenshots of report parameters to validate IUC/IPE is the best example of that: you could so easily just re-run with different parameters, what are you expecting to achieve by imposing that requirement other than frustration and tick-box compliance?
