The Dodd-Frank Act is a law passed by the United States Congress in 2010 to regulate the financial industry and protect consumers. Title I of the Act establishes the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), which is responsible for overseeing the auditing of public companies to ensure that they are following accounting standards and rules.

For example, Section 102 requires public accounting firms to register with the PCAOB in order to practice auditing. This helps to ensure that only qualified and reputable firms are auditing public companies. Section 104 requires the PCAOB to conduct regular inspections of registered public accounting firms to ensure that they are following auditing standards and rules. This helps to maintain the integrity of the auditing process and protect investors.
