Review of Independent Auditing by Registered Company Auditors

Submission | Report

Terms of Reference

With the spate of recent noteworthy corporate collapses both within Australia and overseas, the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit wishes to explore the extent to which it may be necessary to enhance the accountability of public and private sector auditing.

In particular, the Committee is keen to determine where the balance lies between the need for external controls through government regulation, and the freedom for industry to self-regulate.
