Guidance on the 8th EU Company Law Directive


September, 2010


This directive, mandating requirements for listed companies, has now been enshrined in the laws of the EU countries. While it covers the key areas of corporate governance, FERMA and the European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Auditing (ECIIA) have produced a guide addressing a specific area of the directive which states that the audit committee should "monitor the effectiveness of the company's internal control, internal audit where applicable, and risk management systems..."

 

The guide provides board members, especially those who sit on the audit committee, with useful, practical and focused advice from practitioners on their duties to monitor effectiveness under art. 41 of the Directive.

 

While the guide is primarily intended for European companies, it can provide a benchmark or a sense check for all companies and organisations.
