Proceeding contribution from Justine Greening (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Companies Bill (HL).

Companies Bill [Lords]

Again, Members seem to misunderstand my argument. Even if the hon. Gentleman is right, is it therefore appropriate that we should take action that leads to incredibly increased audit costs for businesses—large, medium and small—when there is apparently nothing for auditors to worry about because, in his mind, there is only a small risk of their being prosecuted? In reality, the audit profession and business will find that they cannot accept even that small risk.
