This briefing paper aims to provide details about the legislative changes regarding the appointment of the auditor, but also to inform the choice of Member States and competent authorities when implementing these changes.
As you may have already seen, FEE recently published two briefing papers addressing other key topics related to the new audit policy: 'Public Oversight of the Audit Profession' (http://bit.ly/1408oversight) and 'Provision of Non-Audit Services to PIEs' (http://bit.ly/1408nas). FEE continues its analysis and work on the European Directive and Regulation on Audit and will keep you abreast of further initiatives and publications in this regard.
