In Dec08 he was approvingly cited in House of Lords Debates on the Queen’s Speech and the Banking Bill: on 8th, as advocating that boards, and particularly NEDs, need assurance independent of management, which requires enhancing the role of internal audit and the creation of a cadre of "super auditors" who can relate on even terms with board members; and on 16th, as an authority on corporate governance.
In July 2010 he was appointed as the Specialist Advisor to the House of Lords’ Economic Affairs Select Committee’s Inquiry intoAuditors: market concentration and their role.
