UK Corporate Governance Code changes: Preparing for board declarations

UK Corporate Governance Code changes: Preparing for board declarations

Description

In this session, we will delve into the upcoming updates to the UK Corporate Governance Code (CGC), with a particular focus on Provision 29 and the challenges companies face regarding the definition of materiality for non-financial controls. This session will provide practical insights into what organisations are doing to prepare for these requirements as well as ways to enhance your organisation's risk management framework to help ensure comprehensive compliance and assurance to your board. We will also discuss the importance of having a robust ERM framework and how solutions like AuditBoard can help achieve aligned assurance and effective risk management.
