Office of the Chief Accountant Selects Two Professional Accounting Fellows


Washington, D.C., Mar. 30, 2006 — The Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of the Chief Accountant has selected two professional accounting fellows for two-year terms beginning in June 2006:


Sandie E. Kim, currently a senior manager in Deloitte & Touche LLP's National Office Accounting Consultation Group based in San Francisco, Calif.; and


Josh K. Jones, currently a senior manager in Ernst & Young LLP's Atlanta, Ga., practice office.

Ms. Kim and Mr. Jones will join the current professional accounting fellows — Joseph D. McGrath, Michael G. Gaynor, Timothy S. Kviz, and Joseph B. Ucuzoglu. Outgoing professional accounting fellows are Shan L. Benedict, Jennifer M. Burns, Mark A. Northan, Brian K. Roberson, and Pamela R. Schlosser.

At the Commission, the newly selected professional accounting fellows will be involved in the study and development of rule proposals under the federal securities laws, liaison with the professional accounting and auditing standards-setting bodies, and consultation with registrants on accounting and reporting matters.

"Sandie and Josh were selected in a highly competitive process and bring valuable experiences and skills to our office. These individuals will be instrumental members of our team as we work to accomplish our mission of protecting investors. I would also like to express my thanks to the outgoing professional accounting fellows for their outstanding efforts during the past two years," said Scott A. Taub, Acting Chief Accountant.
