Statutory auditors are required to report to the AMF as soon as possible any fact or decision concerning an investment services provider or an intermediary authorised to hold or administer financial instruments of which they have become aware in the course of their duties and which may constitute a breach of the provisions of the AMF General Regulation relating to the rules of conduct or the conditions for carrying on the business of holding or administering financial instruments. The AMF may also provide the statutory auditors of ISPs with the information they need to perform their duties. The information thus transmitted is covered by the rule of professional secrecy.
