Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations implement obligations in Directive 2014/56/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 amending Directive 2006/43/EC on statutory audits of annual accounts and consolidated accounts [OJ No. L 158, 27.05.14.] and Regulation (EU) 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities and repealing Commission Decision 2005/909/EC [OJ L 158/77 27.05.14. ] ("the Audit Regulation"). The amended Directive 2006/43/EC is known as "the Audit Directive". The Audit Regulation is directly applicable, but changes have been made to domestic law to remove inconsistencies between domestic law and the Audit Regulation.
