Hi Steve

I found a DPDW listing on this PCAOB list showing that DPDW has paid their share
of the accounting support fee.
I was wondering if this might mean DPDW is now in full compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley ,
or if this is just one of those steps in reaching compliance?
Anything you can share on this would be appreciated.
Joe

Joe:
Here are some resources to further explain the PUBLIC COMPANY ACCOUNTING OVERSIGHT BOARD (PCAOB).

And, I think your "just one of those steps.." description is best. You see how qualifying entities share the PCAOB's costs.

Here are some excerpts from PCAOB sources that succinctly describe the criterion that triggers the fee and responsibilities of the PCAOB regarding the fee:

"Pursuant to PCAOB Rule 7101, Equity Issuers and Investment Company Issuers are subject to the accounting support fee. Equity Issuers are publicly traded companies with average monthly equity market capitalization, based on all classes of common stock, greater than $25 million during the prior calendar year..."

SOURCE: PUBLIC COMPANY ACCOUNTING OVERSIGHT BOARD, April 28, 2008: Frequently Asked Questions The Accounting Support Fee and the Funding Process

"...The Board shall calculate an accounting support fee each year. The accounting support fee shall equal the budget of the Board, as proved by the Commission, less the sum of all registration fees and annual fees received during the preceding calendar year from public accounting firms, pursuant to Section 102(f) of the Act and the Rules of the Board.
[Effective pursuant to SEC Release No. 34-48278; File No. PCAOB-2003-02; August 1, 2003]"

I hope the above excerpts and the attached. BYLAWS and RULES, and a support fee FAQs, prove useful.

Please feel free to contact me should you have further need.

Best regards,
