I move amendment No. 25:

In page 22, lines 42 to 44, to delete all words from and including ", in" in line 42 down to and including "to" in line 44 and in page 23 to delete lines 1 and 2 and substitute "have professional qualifications in auditing.".

This relates to a consideration expressed earlier by Senator Burke. He is probably better equipped to deal with this matter than I. The amendment proposes that those who are engaged in auditing should have professional qualifications. We are seeking to assist the Minister in terms of the new role of the audit committees. The Minister may be able to reassure us that this is already the situation or is what he has in mind.
