About Cathy Allen

We’ve been using Cathy Allen and Audit Conduct’s guidance for several years. We’ve appreciated the resource along with her attentiveness, availability and responsiveness, and her knowledge and quality work.

Cathy has an excellent grasp of the independence rules from a technical and practical perspective. As the independence rules evolve in this rapidly changing environment, Cathy has been a great resource to help our firm navigate unique and complex situations.

Our experience with Cathy Allen’s training has been very positive – she makes the subject matter interesting and touches on topics in a way that helps us think about our own actual situations we encounter from time to time. Cathy’s knowledge of the applicable ethics requirements is encyclopedic, and her advice is both prudent and practical

Our regional Firm has engaged Cathy Allen for several years now to annually provide Professional Ethics Training to our associates domiciled across three states having State-specific CPE ethics requirements. Having ongoing access to Audit Conduct has allowed us to readily coordinate the differing jurisdictional needs in a fairly seamless way that minimizes our internal efforts to ensure that we truly have a One-Firm approach to ethics training while maximizing Quality Delivery with a high degree of confidence that are staff are kept abreast of the continually evolving changes in ethics standards. We also call on Cathy to consult with us or review our preliminary conclusions when encountering new, difficult or novel independence-related challenges. She is always professional, responsive, insightful and is great to work with. We follow and appreciate the webinars, blogs, and periodic summaries of ethics changes and news on Audit Conduct’s convenient website!

Knowledgeable, thorough, accurate.

We’ve worked with Cathy twice over the years. She is competent and professional. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Cathy has worked on various ethics-related projects for the AICPA Professional Ethics Division. She is diligent, meets all deadlines and produces quality work products. I would recommend Cathy for all aspects of ethics related matters.

I first met Cathy when she was Senior Manager at the AICPA and I was a member of the AICPA Professional Ethics Executive Committee. I had the opportunity to work with Cathy on some technical projects including the “modernization” of the AICPA independence rules back in 2001. Through those interactions I gained an immediate appreciation for her knowledge of the independence rules. Currently our firms uses Cathy as our outside independence consultant. Cathy has been very responsive to our inquiries which is greatly appreciated as often these are very time sensitive. She is a valuable resource for consulting on AICPA, DOL and SEC/PCAOB independence topics. We appreciate her perspective as someone who is outside of our firm.
