Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I wish to comment, in particular, on sections 38 to 43, inclusive, which deal with transparency and how the changes will come about. Section 39 introduces an obligation that accounts will have to be prepared in accordance with accounting standards. The Minister of State indicated that "It is important to note that the accounting standards applicable to a company are those relevant to its circumstances and its annual accounts. This means that some accounting standards will not be relevant to some companies."
