E-SOX, Statutory Audit Directive
E-SOX Training
On 25 April 2006, the EU Council of Ministers (the Council)
adopted the new
directive on statutory audit
of annual accounts and consolidated accounts – the Statutory Audit
Directive.
It seeks to enhance confidence in the financial statements and
annual reports published by companies across the EU. The Statutory
Audit Directive aims to achieve its objective by strengthening the
EU framework of standards and public oversight for the audit
profession.
Accordingly, the Statutory Audit Directive replaces the Eighth
Company Law Directive of 1984 (Directive 84/253/EC) and also
amends the Fourth and Seventh Company Law Directives (Directives
78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC) by introducing additional EU rules on
the audit of company accounts.
The Company Reporting Directive amends the Fourth and Seventh Company Law Directives (Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC) as well as the Bank Accounts Directive (Directive 86/635/EEC) and the Insurance Accounts Directive (Directive 91/674/EEC). The directive aims to enhance confidence in financial statements and annual reports published by European companies. It seeks to do this by making financial reporting arrangements more transparent and requiring companies to publish information relevant to good corporate governance, while avoiding placing unnecessary burdens on business. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Course Title The European Union’s Sarbanes-Oxley Act (E-SOX) The 8th Company Law, the Market Abuse and the Transparency Directives: Implementation and Compliance Training Objectives: The seminar has been designed to provide with the knowledge and skills needed to understand and support compliance with the above important directives of the European Union’s Financial Services Action Plan.
