    Dr Ilias Basioudis, Aston University Business School – Written evidence (PBS0031) I am writing this as a response to your Committee’s inquiry into the future UK-EU relationship on professional and business services. My name is ilias Basioudis and I am a senior lecturer of Financial Accounting & Auditing in the Accounting Department at Aston University Business School in Birmingham. I am also the Chairman of the Auditing Special Interest Group of the British Accounting and Finance Association. I hold a fellowship in the UK Academy of Higher Education and am editor of the International Journal of Auditing. I was invited in 2019 to give oral evidence as expert witness to the UK Parliament in the Parliamentary inquiry/investigation on the future of audit that was being led by BEIS Select Committee. I have authored many research articles regarding audit quality, auditor reporting, auditor specialisation, and accounting education. I am responding to your call for evidence in your inquiry into the future UK- EU relationship on professional and business services as I have been involved in a research project in the last 3-4 years where my co-author, Dr Mike Kend from RMIT University in Australia, and I have been looking into the implications of Brexit on the professional audit and assurance services market in the UK. A number of personal interviews have taken place and I will report here some findings from these interviews. I trust you will find my evidence and the research findings interesting and useful in your consideration of the new EU-UK trading arrangements on professional and business services that are under negotiation.
