What is the name of the individual who served as the engagement partner for Nordstrom Inc.? What other engagement(s) did that individual also serve as engagement partner?

PCAOB Rule 3211, Auditor Reporting of Certain Audit Participants, requires that an audit firm file a form, referred to as Form AP, for each initial issuance of an audit report. On Form AP, the audit firm discloses the name of each audit engagement partner who participated in the audit, as well as the names and locations of any other audit firms participating in 5 percent or more of the audit engagement. The total number of audit firms participating in less than 5 percent of the audit engagement, as well as the overall percentage of audit hours contributed by these firms, are also required to be disclosed. Access the textbook website to obtain the file “PCAOB Form AP Data” that includes data obtained from the PCAOB’s AuditorSearchSM database and the related data dictionary.
