englischThe audit committee of public interest entities performs a public function through its auditing of financial reporting, which can be broadly broken down into three facets: (i) its role of relieving the burden on the state by supplementing or replacing government supervision, (ii) its role as guarantor of the capital market’s confidence and (iii) its role as guarantor of an audit and thus as the ‘guarantor of the guarantor’. This public function is emphasised by the recent introduction of hitherto non-systemic state supervision of supervisory boards and audit committees. This supervision is, however, to be viewed critically as it could result in the beginnings of ‘stock authorities’. This study examines how the aforementioned public function radiates to the other supervisory bodies in companies, namely the auditor and the supervisory board. It also examines the dangers which European strengthening of audit committees pose to corporate governance based on the dualistic system and to the balance of power in public limited companies.
