By GlobalDataPCAOB’s chairman William D. Duhnke said: “The board is incredibly fortunate to have Liza leading our international efforts. She has broad experience and the deep knowledge needed to further our relationships with our foreign counterparts as we all seek to improve audit quality around the world.”
PCAOB has also appointed George Botic as the director of registration and inspections which is PCAOB’s largest division. He has been serving as acting director since May 2018.

Duhnke said: “George is a skilled and respected leader who has earned the board’s trust and confidence to develop and implement our inspections program of the future.”
Prior to Boltic’s role as acting director, he served as director of international affairs overseeing the PCAOBS negotiations and relationships with foreign audit regulators and governments.
From 2014 to January 2018, he served as adviser to the chairman, advising on all matters that came before the board. He was also involved with international inspection efforts and the development of regulatory policy for the PCAOB.
Like McAndrew Moberg, Boltic has also worked at PwC as a senior manager.
