The Companies (Amendment No.4) (Jersey) Regulations 2010 And The Amendment Of The Accounts And Audit Rules Applicable To Jersey Companies – It is anticipated that the Companies (Amendment No.4) (Jersey) Regulations 2010 (the “Regulations”) will come into force on 5 April 2010. The amendments to the rules contained in Part 16 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (the “CJL”) relating to accounts and audit effected by the Regulations are being made for two reasons. Firstly, to respond to the impact on Jersey based auditors of the EU Statutory Audit Directive 2006/43/EC (the “Directive”). Secondly, to improve Jersey’s compliance with the international standard issued by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (“IOSCO”) relating to accounting and auditing matters (commonly referred to as “IOSCO Principle 16”).
