Can I welcome you to this meeting of the Select Committee of Tynwald on Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander (Isle of Man) Limited. The Select Committee was appointed on 16th July 2009, with the following remit: 20 ‘To investigate and report on the cause of the collapse of Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander (Isle of Man) Limited; the role of the Financial Supervision Commission in ensuring the proper management of Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander (Isle of Man) Limited to protect depositors’ funds; the credibility of the Depositors’ Compensation Scheme; and any other relevant matter, and report back to the March 2010 sitting of Tynwald.’ 25 The Committee recognises this matter is complex and important and has, therefore, decided to split this inquiry in two. The first part of the inquiry will deal with the first two parts of the remit, namely the cause of the collapse of Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander (Isle of Man) Limited and the role of the Financial Supervision Commission in ensuring the proper management of Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander (Isle of 30 Man) Limited to protect depositors’ funds. Once we have reported on that part of the remit, we will turn our attention to the credibility of the Depositors’ Compensation Scheme and any other matters which may need to be investigated.
