How does the CAQ interact with public policymakers? Does it have a political affiliation?
The CAQ is an autonomous, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that serves investors, public company auditors and the markets. We engage in educational outreach to public policymakers, work to enhance the reliability and relevance of business information available to investors, undertake research, offer recommendations to enhance investor confidence and the vitality of the capital markets, issue technical support for public company auditing professionals, and help facilitate the public discussion about modernizing business reporting. As deemed necessary—based on the legal disclosure standard required for those who spend time educating public policymakers and engaging in related activities—the CAQ complies with those disclosure requirements mandated under the law.
