Article 28
Audit reporting
1. Where an audit firm carries out the statutory audit, the
audit report shall be signed by at least the statutory auditor(s)
carrying out the statutory audit on behalf of the audit firm.
In exceptional circumstances Member States may provide that
this signature need not be disclosed to the public if such
disclosure
could lead to an imminent and significant threat to the
personal security of any person.
In any case the name(s) of the
person(s) involved shall be known to the relevant competent
authorities.
2. Notwithstanding Article 51a(1) of Directive 78/660/EEC,
if the Commission has not adopted a common standard for
audit reports in accordance with Article 26(1) of this Directive,
it may, in accordance with the procedure referred to in
Article 48(2) of this Directive, adopt a common standard for
audit reports for annual or consolidated accounts which have
been prepared in accordance with approved international
accounting standards, in order to enhance public confidence in
the audit function.
