Criminal prosecution of a statutory auditor for defective company accounts requires that the auditor fall within the persons designated by the applicable accounting-compliance provision or be expressly charged with that duty. The notes state that an auditor's failure to flag accounting-standard non-compliance does not itself amount to making a false statement unless there is an allegation of a materially false statement or knowing omission of a material fact.

On the stated averments, the prosecution was quashed.
