Vanich has led Office of the Chief Auditor in an acting capacity since November 2020. The Office of the Chief Auditor manages the development of PCAOB standards and ensures that PCAOB standards are appropriately communicated to auditors and other stakeholders. Earlier this week, the PCAOB announced that James McNamara was appointed as the organization’s first-ever Chief Operating Officer. In this role, McNamara will focus on improving the PCAOB’s organizational effectiveness. He will also serve as the chief administrative officer of the PCAOB and oversee its Office of Administration.
