Companies (Auditing and Accountancy) Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.

 

My criticism is that much more should have been done here instead of leaving it to the Lower House to correct matters. Nevertheless, the legislation will return to the Seanad if amendments are made in the Dáil. I am disappointed that two aspects of the Bill, the provisions on compliance and non-executive directors, which are not specifically auditing issues, were included. It would be preferable if they were addressed in other legislation. Let us ensure the Bill works well. I congratulate all those involved with it.
