Written Question
Accountancy: Regulation
Thursday 27th February 2020

Asked by: Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to reform the regulation of the accounting profession.

Answered by Lord Callanan - Shadow Minister (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The Government is committed to acting on the findings of the three independent reviews of audit: the FRC review, the CMA review and the Brydon review, covering respectively the regulator, the market and the audit product itself. We will set out comprehensive proposals for audit reform in the Spring and will then bring forward legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.
