The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board delivered its first enforcement blow to a small New York firm that apparently violated auditor independence rules, then tried to conceal the fact from Board inspectors.
The Board deregistered Goldstein and Morris CPAs and barred managing partner Edward Morris from associating with a PCAOB-registered firm. The Board also censured two other partners, Alan Goldberger and William Postelnik, both of whom resigned from the firm.
