I held discussions today with Senator Benjamin L. Cardin's office to try to gain some clarity on the Wall Street Reform Act, Section 404(b) permanent reprieve. I learned some very interesting news. The Section 404(b) reprieve amendment FAILED in the House on December 11, 2009 at 11:14 AM by a vote of 153 - 271. That is what this link depicts: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h4173/amendments?page=2

From MSNBC.com. This article relates to when/if non-accelerated filers may be required to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, section 404(b), or the external audit attestation portion of Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance since the Wall Street Reform Act contains an amendment that, if passed, would grant a permanent reprieve to non-accelerated filers (those public companies with a market cap of less than $75MM). Great article:

We do not know yet if the amendment for a permanent 404(b) Sarbanes-Oxley reprieve was included or excluded. We will probably know tomorrow.

Sarah Johnson wrote a great article for CFO Magazine about Auditor-Client Relationships. It is interesting to note that while many relationships have changed numerous times, there are those that have lasted for 50+ years. Having long lasting relationships may help, as both the company and auditor are able to understand exactly how the company works. However, if these relationships last too long, there is the possibility for regulations to be relaxed or issues to be overlooked.
