Governance in focus — On the board agenda 2021
As 2020 draws to a close, our annual review of board topics will stimulate your thinking and help prepare you for the year ahead.
We review the resilient agile company, workforce strategies, the power of purpose driven brands; we examine the emerging components of corporate reporting, the proposed public interest statement, new climate reporting requirements and the demands for consistent ESG metrics; we interview Paul Stephenson, Deloitte’s new managing partner for Audit and Assurance, and review reporting reminders for the year from the FRC; we challenge you to modernise your internal risk and assurance processes, and encourage you forward on internal controls; finally, we review the dynamics in the consideration of executive remuneration.
