Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority: Engagement with Chairperson

2:00 am

Ms Aisling Kennedy:

In the first instance, the profession, as with any profession, needs to provide an overall package that attracts the quality of candidates into the profession that it needs. It is not something IAASA has within its remit. It would be a matter for policy were it to be part of our remit. There is evidence that the structure of the professional bodies and professions generally is changing and will continue to evolve. That apprenticeship model the Deputy mentioned, for example, is under pressure from the new ways of working post-Covid. We know that attractiveness of the profession is something the big firms and professional bodies are cognisant of. Mr. Prendergast may want to add to that.
