The Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA) issued Resolution No. 32 of 2009 to consolidate the registers of auditors previously maintained by the Egyptian Insurance Supervisory Authority and the General Authority for Housing and Development into a single EFSA register. The resolution mandates that auditors transferred to this new register may only provide services to companies they were authorized to audit prior to the transfer, while retaining their original registration numbers. It also extends existing registration fee regulations to include insurance, reinsurance, cooperative insurance associations, and housing finance companies.
Concerning the Register of Auditors Registered with the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority
Having reviewed:
The name "Register of Auditors Registered with the General Authority for the Capital Market" is amended to become "The Register of Auditors Registered with the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority," while retaining the registration numbers as they are.
The registers of auditors registered with both the Egyptian Insurance Supervisory Authority and the General Authority for Housing and Development Affairs are abolished. The registration of auditors registered with them (excluding those not registered in the Register of Auditors with the General Authority for the Capital Market) is transferred to the Register referred to in Article One, under new registration numbers.
Auditors registered in this Register are not permitted to provide their services except to companies that they were permitted to audit prior to the transfer of their registration.
The conditions for registration, continuation of registration, and deletion from the Register of Auditors with the General Authority for the Capital Market issued by Board of Directors Resolution No. 33 of 2009 shall continue to apply under the name "Conditions for Registration, Continuation of Registration, and Deletion from the Register of Auditors with the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority."
Furthermore, the Board of Directors of the General Authority for the Capital Market Resolution No. 8 of 2009 concerning the determination of fees for registration services in the Register of Auditors shall continue to apply, with the addition of insurance companies, reinsurance companies, cooperative insurance associations, and housing finance companies to the list of companies for which annual service fees must be paid upon the audit of their accounts.
This Resolution shall be published in the Egyptian Gazette and shall take effect from the day following its publication date.
