The Commerce, Consumer and Competition Division is the policy arm of the department for developing a legal framework to deliver a fair and efficient market in which Irish commerce prospers and consumers are protected.
The division is concerned with delivering an environment for business in which there is fair competition; dynamism and productivity flourishes; and in which there is consumer and investor confidence. Our regulatory regime is intended to ensure that business is conducted with probity and integrity but without undue administrative burdens and that the rights of investors, consumers and creditors are protected, transparent and enforced.
In relation to Internal Audit, the division aims to ensure that the highest standards of internal corporate governance is promoted through the work of the department's internal audit function.
