The Order comes into force on 1 January 2015 and applies in relation to financial years beginning on or after this date. The Order requires, amongst other things, FTSE 350 companies to put the statutory audit services engagement out to tender every ten years or earlier. It also sets out the audit committee's responsibilities in this regard and also in respect of other areas including, for example, the influence exerted over the appointment of the audit engagement partner.

Isle of Man: a call to update insolvency law
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnAS4i3fxI_Fx4Mzf4zOPD5hEo9jQg2y0KDPFRDaoRCsaQ-wN0i7zIxf0wI4EVNRiWC9uMx1pdPFTcgnNco0Wg6XGJuJyMoS8gH-mAB_8Rtk8bK3jsV8hS4w3Iw8TjVlsDNaldQtYGnH4/s1600/isleofman.gif)
"I proffer a general comment on the archaic statutory provisions and rules which govern insolvency in the Isle of Man. These provisions are out of date, confusing and much in need of revision to accommodate the type of business the Island presently conducts and hopes to attract as it moves forward in the 21st century. It has been said before, and bears repeating, that all those who have to deal with insolvency and winding up of companies in the Isle of Man, not least the Courts, would benefit greatly from an up-to-date revision of the law in these areas, such that the Island can better cater for modern commercial practice."

![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OoFgZDOaX65rndoX4Rh4lexRDyBX722WpomKG4GRnli3pEEkZCbOjwdqS7oxaOEs1eqITokfLAgf_cZc2668VgsaAebSx5wEGqU5cUfv2YMa7CqqOIu3Dls54LSe7-fwtk3d3bf9EhxY/s610/uk-lgflag.gif)
"For section 1032(1) to be construed such that it gives rise to an unqualified reversion to the status quo, one would require to ignore or treat as pro non scripto the preceding sections 1021 and 1022 along with the provisions of the succeeding section 1034. In this regard the maxim generalibus specialia derogant must, in my view, apply".
