      RECOMMENDATION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
      of 29 September 2021
      to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Central Bank of Ireland
      (ECB/2021/44)
      (2021/C 403/01)
      THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 27.1 thereof,
      Whereas:
      
                  (1)
               
               
                  The accounts of the European Central Bank (ECB) and national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro are audited by independent external auditors recommended by the ECB’s Governing Council and approved by the Council of the European Union.
               
            
                  (2)
               
               
                  In 2016, the Central Bank of Ireland selected Mazars as its external auditors for the financial years 2016 to 2020.
               
            
                  (3)
               
               
                  The mandate of the Central Bank of Ireland’s current external auditors, Mazars, ended after the audit for the financial year 2020. It is therefore necessary to appoint external auditors for the financial years 2021 and 2022.
               
            
                  (4)
               
               
                  The Central Bank of Ireland intends to extend the mandate of Mazars for the financial years 2021 and 2022,
               
            HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
      It is recommended that Mazars should be appointed as the external auditors of the Central Bank of Ireland for the financial years 2021 and 2022.
      
         Done at Frankfurt am Main, 29 September 2021.
         
            
               The President of the ECB
