Appointment of the Public Supervision Commission and Audit Committees - Necessity or Vogue

Kazimierz Sawicki



Abstract

In connection to the bankruptcy of Enron and other large entities the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted in the US in 2002. Its purpose was to prevent a similar situation caused mainly by preparing and publishing deceitful financial reporting from happening again. Following American solutions, the European Union issued a new directive, 2006/43/EC, and obliged its member states to the enforcement of the directive. If the public supervision body and audit committees which were appointed in the US as well as restrictive regulations did not prevent the financial crisis in the middle of 2008, is it justifiable to apply such law regulations? The answer to this question might be produced only after a few years. (original abstract)
