Why is there a need for additional EC-guidance on Art 41 of the 8th Directive

November 2008Corporate GovernanceAssociation

Abstract

Participants in capital markets expect more from company boards and audit committees than ever before. Shareholders expect (and deserve) transparent and reliable information on all significant organisational aspects, not limited to financial reporting.. To assume this fiduciary responsibility, the board/audit committee will look for objective assurance services provided by both its external and internal auditor.
