  7. Our objectives To promote: • high quality corporate reporting • high quality auditing • high standards of corporate governance • the integrity, competence and transparency of the accountancy profession • the FRC’s effectiveness as an independent regulator

  8. Our regulatory philosophy • A well-informed market is the best regulator • Targeted use of powers (proactive, risk-based) • Principles and clarity in standards and codes • Consultative, practitioner decision-making … but independent • Promote appropriate international approaches • Transparency, accountability and awareness

  9. International standards implementation • Keep in mind all stages of the process • The process as a whole needs to add value • Small & medium-sized companies have special considerations • Independence & accountability of regulators are both important

  10. International audit regulation • 100% self-regulation is no longer politically acceptable • Independent audit regulators emerging in various countries • Benefits of convergence of auditing standards • “ISA-plus” model • Independent monitoring and enforcement

  11. Completing the international architecture • International capital markets, international audit firms … an international regulatory response is required • Globally/regionally • Pressure on firms to improve international quality delivery … • International regulatory convergence is a reasonable request • “Global” regulation is not feasible … but agreement on common principles and co-operation is more realistic
