Med henblik på offentligt tilsyn, kvalitetssikring og undersøgelser af revisorer og revisionsfirmaer sikrer medlemsstaterne, at de bilaterale arbejdsaftaler, som tillader, at revisionsarbejdspapirer eller andre dokumenter, der indehaves af revisorer eller revisionsfirmaer, overføres mellem deres kompetente myndigheder og de kompetente myndigheder i Australien og USA, foreskriver, at kontakt mellem revisorer eller revisionsfirmaer i medlemsstaterne og de kompetente myndigheder i Australien og USA finder sted via de kompetente myndigheder i de berørte medlemsstater, jf. dog artikel 47, stk. 4, i direktiv 2006/43/EF.
Without prejudice to Article 47(4) of Directive 2006/43/EC, Member States shall ensure that, for the purpose of public oversight, quality assurance and investigations of auditors and audit firms, the bilateral working arrangements which allow the transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms between their competent authorities and the competent authorities of Australia and the United States provide that contacts between the auditors or audit firms of the Member States and the competent authorities of Australia and the United States take place via the competent authorities of the Member State concerned.
