Statutory auditors are liable, both to the person or entity and to third parties, for the harmful consequences of faults and negligence committed by them in the performance of their duties.
Their liability may not, however, be incurred in respect of information or disclosures of facts made by them in the performance of their duties.
They shall not be civilly liable for offences committed by directors and corporate officers, unless, having become aware of them, they did not report them in their report to the general meeting or to the competent body mentioned in Article L. 823-1.
