Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

The argument has been made about the composition of the board. To be perfectly honest, I have no view on this. If it is effectively an appeals board, it is right that it should have representation from the profession on it but with a majority from outside. Two members out of 12 or 13 seems a relatively low level of representation. If the accountancy bodies are of the view that that is important, perhaps we should look at it again. I am sure that the Minister of State will be open to doing this.
