EU Audit Reform rules came into effect on 17 June 2016. All EU member states have now fully implemented national legislation and EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) are in the process of implementing.

Legislative requirements covering EU Public Interest Entities (PIEs) and their statutory auditors include mandatory audit firm rotation, restrictions and a cap on non-audit services and responsibilities of the audit committee. There are some national variations in requirements so all affected companies should have an understanding of the legislation.
