Corporate governance codes require that an audit committee include at least one independent director with an accountancy or auditing background. Why was this requirement ignored? I was just looking around and the DAA, for example, has a committee of four, three of whom have accountancy expertise. Two members of the board of An Post have accountancy expertise, but RTÉ has nobody with that expertise.
