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

 

I certainly welcome this measure which represents a firm move by the Government to encourage compliance with our tax regime and laws. Undoubtedly, there is sometimes a tendency for companies to try to work around the tax regime. This is a time for legislators to encourage a culture of compliance with our tax regime. We have a shared objective in that all of us strive to promote a situation whereby auditors are trusted as guardians of honesty. This legislation will be beneficial to the reputation of these professions and protect the whole industry from damage caused by any non-compliant members.
