  • Governance in focus — Cyber risk and governance reporting in the UK Image

  • Governance in focus — Cyber risk and governance reporting in the UK

    published 06 Sep, 2022

    With oversight of technological capability, opportunity and risk critical to company success, regulators are increasingly focused on how companies report cyber risk and breaches in security. The Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC's) Financial Reporting Lab published its report Digital Security Risk Disclosure in early August, and earlier this year the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also published a proposal  to improve disclosure in this area. Our own analysis of cyber opportunity, risk and governance reporting across the FTSE 100 has now been published, helping audit teams and companies identify examples of good practice and offering insights about how to keep the users of annual reports informed in this important area. We last examined FTSE 100 cyber risk and governance reporting in March 2018 and we are pleased to see considerable progress in companies’ disclosures. However, when compared to the SEC proposal on cyber reporting published March 2022 and the FRC Lab’s disclosure recommendations, it is clear more focus is needed to match the needs of investors as identified by these two market regulators.

  • Governance in brief — FCA and FRC publish findings on climate change disclosure — improvements required Image

  • Governance in brief — FCA and FRC publish findings on climate change disclosure — improvements required

    published 06 Sep, 2022

    At the end of July, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Financial Reporting Council (FRC) published the findings of their first joined up, and mutually complementary, reviews of mandatory climate reporting under the new Listing Rule requirements. The FCA sets out its expectations for compliant reporting, underpinned by the need to establish and embed adequate climate reporting procedures, systems and controls at companies. It outlines the findings from its review and highlights that it is considering whether to take regulatory action against certain listed entities for inadequate reporting. The FCA also reiterates support for the forthcoming International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards and the intention to move away from ‘comply or explain’ to mandatory disclosure alongside the adoption of those standards in the UK. The FRC’s complementary report evaluated both the quality of Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the extent of climate-related disclosures within the financial statements. It provides examples of better practice disclosures which both the FRC and the FCA encourage companies to refer to when preparing or seeking to improve their own disclosures.
