Biography

Coulla Pieri currently serves the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, where she strives to assist the organization in ensuring the integrity of the audits conducted at public companies.

Coulla Pieri works for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), where she leverages a strong background in auditing, finance, and accounting to assist the organization in meeting its goals with regard to the audits of public companies. Ultimately, the Board was designed by Congress to ensure the interests of investors and encourage the public to become interested in the development of accurate, reliable audit reports. Furthermore, the PCAOB spearheads the audits of broker-dealers in an effort to protect investors.
The PCAOB is a non-profit organization that was created with the passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This piece of legislation required auditors working for public businesses in the United States to adhere to regulations both externally and internally, which was groundbreaking in an industry that, previously, had relied upon self-regulation to operate.
When not working, Coulla Pieri enjoys shopping, traveling, watching television and movies, and working out. Through both her professional endeavors and her hobbies, Pieri strives to live a well-balanced life that allows her to both focus on her career and enjoy the activities that make her happy. Pieri is particularly fond of jean shopping and loves the skinny jean trend. Additionally, she is a fan of nearly every movie genre (except horror) and is an avid traveler, as she visits family in Cyprus quite often. Furthermore, her dedication to living a healthy lifestyle and engaging in physical fitness activities has enabled Pieri to create a higher degree of overall wellbeing and, ultimately, improve the quality of life that she enjoys.

Born in Zimbabwe, Coulla Pieri and her family moved to South Africa when she was just three years old. For the next 11 years they enjoyed the unique culture and natural beauty of this part of the world and, when she was 14, moved to Hollywood, Florida. Pieri already had family in the United States, so while this transition was a major change for her she had the support of her loved ones to help her adjust to her new life in America.
In Florida, Pieri studied at Chamnade Madonna College Preparatory School before attending college at the University of Florida. At UF, Coulla Pieri studied finance, which led her to a career that she loves today. After graduating from UF in 2003, Pieri started a master's degree program that was managed by the University of Virginia and Ernst & Young. Called Your Master Plan, the program was approximately fourteen months long. Classes were held during the summers at the start and at the end of the program, during which time Pieri studied accounting. During the months between the two summer sessions she worked at Ernst & Young. After her graduation from the program in 2004, Pieri worked for Ernst & Young for an additional eight years.
Ernst & Young: Starting a Promising Career
During her career at Ernst and Young, Coulla Pieri supervised and assisted with financial statement audits of public and private companies across a variety of industries.

Because Ernst & Young is such an important part of the accounting industry, it is wonderful that Pieri was able to start her career with this organization.
