ACCA contributes to the development of robust audit regulation in Poland |
ACCA is part of a consortium of management consultants which has been
appointed by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Poland to
advise on Audit Quality Assurance and the implementation of the
European Union's revised Eighth Directive on Company Law. The
consortium includes BPP Poland and International Management Consultants
Limited.
The project commenced in January 2007 and is scheduled for completion in July.
ACCA's role will be to advise on the implementation of a robust Audit
Quality Assurance Programme to enable the Polish National Chamber of
Statutory Auditors (Krajowa Izba Biegłych Rewidentów) to ensure that
audit reports issued by Polish audit firms are reliable, thereby
protecting the public interest. In addition, ACCA will advise on
disciplinary arrangements, which form an important part of the
regulation of the professional conduct of auditors.

Peter Large, Executive Director-Professional Standards at ACCA
commented: "We are delighted to have been selected to assist the
National Chamber of Statutory Auditors in ensuring that firms in Poland
conduct audit work to a good standard. In particular, we very much
welcome this opportunity to work with the National Chamber, which is
the statutory regulator of auditors in Poland. We will use our own
considerable experience of Audit Quality Assurance and disciplinary
arrangements gained as a statutory regulator of auditors in the United
Kingdom and Ireland, to ensure that Poland has a quality assurance
programme and disciplinary arrangements that conform to the highest
international standards." |
