Helpful information BEIS has published a Questions and Answers document to help companies understand the new requirements and the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has recently issued a draft of the Wates Corporate Governance Principles for Large Private Companies for public consultation - the final version is expected in December. These principles are designed to


help companies comply with the Regulations once they come into force, but they can also be used as a reference for companies of all sizes to help them apply good corporate governance practice. There are six principles – around the themes of purpose, board composition, responsibilities, opportunity and risk, remuneration and stakeholders – which should be adopted on an “apply and explain” basis.


The revised UK Corporate Governance Code Separately, the FRC has also published a revised Code. The Code applies to all companies with a premium listing - these companies should include a statement in their annual financial reports indicating how they apply the principles of the Code on a “comply or explain” basis. The 2018 Code is shorter, sharper and has fewer provisions than the previous version. According to the revised Code,


premium listed companies should explain intended actions to consult with shareholders where 20% or


more votes are cast against a resolution recommended by the board on executive pay (and other matters). Premium listed companies should also establish a method for gathering workforce views, using one or a combination of: A director appointed from the workforce; a formal workforce advisory panel; designated non-executive director. The role of the remuneration


committee is broader. Chairs should consider having regularly externally facilitated board evaluations, which in FTSE 350 companies should happen at least every three years. The Code also seeks to promote


diversity of gender, social and ethnic backgrounds, and to enhance transparency and diversity in a company’s succession pipeline. The new Code will apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Given the increased focus of


Government, stakeholders and society as a whole on the importance of good corporate governance and the need for greater transparency and accountability, companies of all sizes would benefit from a review of their existing governance arrangements. This would allow companies to see where improvements can be made – and to ensure, where relevant, that between now and the end of December the appropriate processes are in place to comply with the new legal requirements when they come in.
