WASHINGTON–Former NCUA Chairman Kyle Hauptman has been sworn in at his new job.
Hauptman is now a board member of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The swearing in took place at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
“I am pleased to welcome Kyle to the PCAOB,” = PCAOB Chairman Demetrios (Jim) Logothetis said in a statement. “His deep expertise and extensive experience will be invaluable as we advance our efforts to modernize the PCAOB and strengthen its role as a durable regulator prepared to meet the opportunities and challenges of the next 25 years and beyond.”
Hauptman was appointed by the SEC on Jan. 30, 2026. His term will expire on Oct. 24, 2029.
New Job Comes With a Raise
The new job will come with a significant increase in pay for Hauptman. Board members of the PCAOB are paid approximately $317,000 annually, which actually represent a major reduction from 2025 compensation, when board members received nearly $547,000 each. Hauptman was earning approximately $195,000 at NCUA.
“I’m honored to join the PCAOB and look forward to working with my colleagues to strengthen the capital markets,” Hauptman said in a statement. “Of particular interest will be the technological changes that are transforming both the audit industry and the PCAOB itself.”
Hauptman’s Term at NCUA
Prior to his swearing in as a PCAOB board member, Hauptman served as NCUA chairman. He was originally appointed by President Donald J. Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate to serve as an NCUA board member in December 2020. He was elevated to chairman of the NCUA in January 2025.
Before joining the NCUA Board, Board Member Hauptman served as Senator Tom Cotton’s advisor on economic policy, as well as Staff Director of the Senate Banking Committee’s Subcommittee on Economic Policy. He has also held positions at the American Enterprise Institute, Jefferies and Co., and Lehman Brothers.
Hauptman exited NCUA after the Senate confirmed his successor, John Crews, for a position on the NCUA board. He has not yet officially been named chairman by the Trump Administration.
