Audit and Independence

Audit and Independence

Can someone explain who exactly is a covered member in simple terms? And if you are covered member, does that mean you are not independent and cannot perform audit services for a client?

Is it true that under the AICPA and PCAOB a firm can perform current services for the client and still do their audit work?

Thank you.
