Corporate Governance

There is increased pressure on UK companies to improve the quality of their internal controls and systems. Proper systems of corporate governance can also increase the efficiency of management systems and improve relations with shareholders and potential investors.

By October 2009 the Companies Act 2006 will be fully implemented, bringing with it significant changes to the way both private and public companies are to operate in the future. The Companies Act 2006 has left many companies concerned to ensure they meet with the new legal requirements and also take advantage of the many simplified procedures and protocols.

How we can help: 

• The role of the board of directors and non-executive directors, in relation to the Companies Act 2006

• Remuneration of directors

• Directors' duties and responsibilities          

• Relations with shareholders and potential investors

• Fraud and illegality
