Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Senator McDowell raised the issue of auditor independence and was not sure that the Bill would achieve it. However, section 42 requires full disclosure. Also, the audit committee will oversee matters in companies required to establish them. It is worth mentioning that the EU recommendation addresses this issue. This Bill will improve the independent standing of auditors.
