In terms of carrying out an audit, is the timeframe under which audits are to be conducted set down in law? The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland generally has its audit signed off by the end of June. Is that set down in legislation? Statutory accounts must be audited and filed with the companies office within a certain period of time? Is there anything similar in law in this case? The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland accounts could be left run until the year. Is there a requirement that they must be audited by a certain time?
