How are Audit Firms and Auditors Regulated?

Under the Companies Act 2006 and the Statutory Audit and Third Country Regulations 2016 the responsibility for all matters relating to audit regulation is reserved to a 'Competent Authority' which is the Financial Reporting Council (FRC).

The legislation allows the Competent Authority to delegate audit regulation functions to other bodies recognised in law. These bodies include the RSBs.
