Corporate Enforcement Authority Launches New Podcast Series


The Corporate Enforcement Authority (CEA) has launched a new podcast called EnforCEAble – the CEA Podcast. The series will explain what company law is all about and why it’s so important to both the economy and our everyday lives.

We all do business with companies every day – be that buying groceries, going to the cinema or booking a summer holiday. Company law, in the truest sense, affects every member of the public.

This series will explain what the CEA does, how it does it, why it does it, and just how interesting this work actually is. Whether you’re a company director, a student studying company law or a professional working in this area – EnforCEAble will be of interest to you.

EnforCEAble will outline why company law is so important to the economy in terms of promoting and facilitating job creation, explain the principal roles under company law, and promote an understanding of the various parties’ rights and responsibilities. It will also point listeners to where they can obtain further information about company law matters.

In the first episode, available now on all podcast platforms, CEO Ian Drennan sits down with the CEA’s director of legal and policy, David Hegarty, to provide an overview of the Corporate Enforcement Authority. The episode covers the primary purpose of the CEA, its enforcement remit and the powers available to the CEA to carry out investigations. It also outlines the ways the authority encourages compliance with the Companies Act 2014. This chat also covers developments on the horizon on the company law front that listeners would be interested in.

The second episode, coming soon, will feature an interview with Dr Michael Dillon, director of legal with the CEA, and will cover the fundamentals of company law. The episode will discuss topics such as incorporation and the benefits that it affords.

Later episodes in the series will feature interviews with guests from various walks of life relevant to company law.

If you have any suggestions for topics you’d like to hear discussed on EnforCEAble, the CEA would be delighted to hear from you. You can contact it either on its LinkedIn page or through email at media@cea.gov.ie.
