How are Audit Firms and Auditors Regulated?

The requirements for statutory audits are set out by the Statutory Audit Directive (2006/43/EC) adopted by the European Union.

This has been transposed into UK Law by the Companies Act 2006. This Act provides powers to bodies known as Recognised Supervisory Bodies (RSBs) to register and supervise auditors.
