| Objective of the consultation | |
| The Green Paper aims to draw the lessons from the crisis with respect to the external audit of companies. In particular, the Commission is keen to discuss whether audits provide the right information to all financial actors, whether there are issues around the independence of audit firms, whether there are risks linked to a concentrated market, whether supervision at a European level might be useful and how best the specific needs of small and medium sized businesses may be met. | |
