EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Companies (Disclosure of Auditor Remuneration and Liability Limitation Agreements) Regulations 2008 (the “principal Regulations”) provide for large companies to disclose fees receivable by their auditors and their auditors’ associates. The Companies (Disclosure of Auditor Remuneration and Liability Limitation Agreements) (Amendment) Regulations 2011 amend the principal Regulations.

Regulation 5 replaces Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations. The list of types of service in respect of which disclosure has to be made, set out in the substituted Schedule 2A, has been updated to correlate with the revised Ethical Standards published by the Auditing Practices Board of the Financial Reporting Council.

Regulations 3 and 4 make consequential amendments to regulation 5 of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 2 amends Regulation 5(1)(a) of the principal Regulations so as to extend the obligation of disclosure under that provision to remuneration received by any associate of the company’s auditor.

Regulation 1(4) provides that only the accounts of companies for financial years beginning on or after 1st October 2011 are required to be completed in accordance with the changes laid out in these Regulations. However, Regulation 1(5) allows companies to complete accounts relating to financial years beginning before 1st October in accordance with the new Schedule 2A.

An full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET and is published with a Transposition Note and the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument at www.legislation.gov.uk.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
