March 27, 2023 Dear SEC, As a household investor, I am writing to express my full support for SEC rule proposal 34-96768, which seeks to improve the oversight responsibilities and transparency of public company audit committees. The proposed rule addresses a crucial aspect of financial reporting and aims to enhance the independence and effectiveness of audit committees. By strengthening the qualifications and responsibilities of audit committee members, the rule would ensure that they are equipped to effectively oversee the work of auditors and maintain the integrity of financial reporting. As a household investor, I rely heavily on accurate and transparent financial reporting to make informed investment decisions. I believe that the proposed rule would improve the quality of financial reporting and increase investor confidence in the market. Furthermore, the proposal's requirement for enhanced disclosures regarding the qualifications and experience of audit committee members would provide greater transparency and enable investors to make more informed judgments about the reliability of financial statements. In conclusion, I fully support the SEC's proposed rule and urge the commission to adopt it. I believe that it would be a significant step towards improving the transparency and integrity of financial reporting, which is essential for maintaining investor confidence and promoting a fair and efficient market. Thank you for considering my comments. Sincerely, Robert Graham Brunner
