EBSA seeks comment on proposed guidance.

The Employee Benefits Security Administration is seeking comments on its proposed guidance regarding the independence of accountants who audit employee benefit plans.

The updates would replace Interpretative Bulletin 75-9, due to general changes in audit services; industry consolidation; and AICPA and SEC revisions in general independence standards.

Comments are due Dec. 11. For more, visit http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/pdf/E6-14913.pdf.
