Mr. Kevin Prendergast:

We have a direct regulatory role for the auditors of the public interest entities. That is eight firms at the moment. There are 1,100 statutory audit firms in Ireland. All of those other audit firms are regulated by their professional bodies, of which there are two. IAASA oversees how that regulation is carried out. We have ultimate responsibility under the law for how that is carried out. We issue guidelines as to how we expect that to be carried out and then we carry out annual inspections into those bodies to make sure they are complying with our guidelines and the law and issue reports. If necessary, we would take regulatory action against them.
