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

 

In regard to the specific responsibility of directors or audit committees, I propose the more flexible option of introducing a code of practice rather than laying down specific duties in legislation. This is, I understand, in line with practice in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. I also propose fewer restrictions on who qualifies as a non-executive director. This would ease the difficulty of finding sufficient numbers of qualified non-executive directors.
