Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment
Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson
2:00 am
Mr. Kevin Prendergast:
Just as regards the expertise we get, and reflecting on the Deputy's own career experience, a significant number of our hires are from the larger audit firms. They come to us. Typically, they are quite experienced when they come in. We have to make an offering. We are not going to match them from a financial point of view but what we offer is a sense of value and purpose in working in this space. I am gratified that we get really strong candidates. We have a very strong team. A lot of our recruitment now is effectively word of mouth. Once we have a vacancy, as the Deputy will know, it is a small area in terms of the larger firms so we are very lucky with the people we get to join us.
