Written Question
Company Accounts: Audit
Monday 8th February 2016

Asked by: Lord Smith of Clifton (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the number of FTSE 100 companies whose annual accounts have been qualified by their auditors in the last 10 financial years.

Answered by Baroness Neville-Rolfe - Shadow Minister (Treasury)

No such assessment has been made by the Department. However this information is part of the audit report that is filed by all relevant UK companies at Companies House. We are aware that a number of commercial information providers are able to use Companies House data to derive information of this nature. One example of such a provider is the Bureau Van Dijk Fame Database.
