EVOLUTION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT
PROGRAMME
Registration and breakfast
Embedding the longer-term view The enforcement of the Financial Reporting Council's 2014 UK Corporate Governance Code makes a number of requirements; remuneration needs to be more specifically and transparently linked to long term success, directors should pay more attention to reporting risk (in particular strategic risk) and reports need to address the company’s long term prospects. Chaired by Brett Simnett, director of investor engagement, Radley Yeldar
The Financial Reporting Council is looking to drive a more long term approach to corporate reporting and this session will discuss how this will look in practice, and how it will affect those involved in the production of the report. Hear from the Financial Reporting Council, Board Intelligence and the CFA Society.
