someone directly authorised by the state to act as auditor means
I don’t understand your statement/question.
To be eligible to act as auditor, a person must be:
• a member of a Recognised Supervisory Body (RSB), e.g. ACCA, and
allowed by the rules of that body to be an auditor or
• someone directly authorised by the state.
What does it meant to be directly authorised by the state ? Can you give an example
I can’t give an example because I don’t know of one.
It means that the responsible government minister/department could in theory directly authorise someone who is not a member of ACCA, ICAEW, ICAS or another RSB. I can’t think why the government would want to do that, but the power is there if needed.
That’s what i wanted to know. Thanks 🙂
