Corporate Governance
Corporate governance has been pushed up the agenda for directors
from companies of all sizes following the financial crisis in 2008.
Although there has been the public review of the governance
processes of financial services companies in the Walker
Review and a tightening of best practice guidelines through
the revision of the UK Corporate Governance code (compulsory only
for main market listed companies), the governance obligations of
smaller companies have also been under scrutiny which resulted in
the Corporate Governance Guidance and Principles for Unlisted
Companies in the UK being published by the Institute of
Directors in late 2010.
Employing robust corporate governance procedures is important
for all companies from a risk management perspective and should
ensure the best protection possible for shareholders, directors and
other stakeholders. Modern corporate governance guidance has sought
to move away from the tick-box exercise approach with a dynamic and
commercial approach being favoured.
We seek to adopt the modern approach to corporate governance
services, recognising that companies need a bespoke service to fit
their organisational needs. We offer a wide range of corporate
governance services which include:
Board Support Services
Including attendance and Board and Committee meetings, providing
advice on an as needs basis and ensuring that all processes are in
line with best practice guidance.
Training
We can provide general or specific training for either directors
or managers to meet organisational needs.
Corporate Governance Audits
This consists of a comprehensive review of Board processes and
Committee terms of reference, as well as scrutiny of directors'
inductions, the role of non-executive directors and compliance with
the governance principals for unlisted companies.
If you are interested in any of our services and would like to discuss how we may be able to assist you please contact Ruairi Laughlin-McCann or Sheetal Patel.
