Podcasts about Financial Reporting Council

Our tech editor, Tom Herbert kicks off the podcast with the shutdown and acquisition of online bookkeeping giant Bench. He details who Bench are, what happened when the company ceased operations, why we should care and the dangers of using technology without proper oversight. With January being a busy month for accountants and the 31 January self assessment deadline looming, Richard Hattersley talks about HMRC's statistics that 5.4m taxpayers are still left to file their return. The team questions whether it is just human nature that a deadline is a deadline for a reason and they see how accountants are coping. Finally, Matthew Ord reports on the calls for change in audit. He looks at whether any progress has been made so far and the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) desire for audit to be more effective.

Lindsey Stewart is Director of Stewardship Research and Policy at Morningstar Sustainanalytics, where he is a sustainability and governance specialist. Based in London he writes regularly about how institutional investors engage with companies and policymakers on environmental, social and governance themes and is a regular speaker on these topics. He previously was head of Stakeholder Engagement at the Financial Reporting Council and spent 8 years at KPMG in various engagement roles. Our conversation starts with Lindsey's unconventional background where he approached finance straight from school instead of via a traditional college degree.  He describes it as a “moon shot” and details his journey into a governance specialists role, and some of the disorientation he experienced once he “landed” on the moon. This leads to a discussion around socio-economic mobility and the profession more generally and we look at the scaffolding that can enable such moves. We turn then to a discussion of the current state of sustainability data, where the world of engagement has moved to and challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the area of sustainable investing.

In this episode of 'Pull Up a Chair', Bina is joined by Sir John Kingman, Chair of Legal & General, covering how his experiences in positions at the very top of government and business have shaped his perspectives on investing for sustainable growth, and attracting Global talent. As former Second Permanent Secretary to HM Treasury, he was at the heart of the UK government's response to the 2008/9 financial crisis, managing the resolution of Northern Rock and negotiations around the refinancing of UK banks.

Join the conversation on sustainable growth.

In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner of Better Boards, discusses with Professor Randall Peterson the role of the board in helping organisations become better at dealing with diversity – moving beyond the presence of diversity to being able to engage diversity to benefit the organisation.  Randall is a Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School, and his recent work includes a report for the Financial Reporting Council on board diversity. He has been active on the board of UN Women UK. He is currently serving on the Leaders as Change Agents board, an expert panel working through the Government Equalities Office to facilitate positive change in the UK's largest employers. "We know something about what goes wrong - There's a parallel track…"Randall describes the wide range of research he has looked at in depth with over 100 directors and company secretaries, which has given very consistent results. To gain multiple perspectives, usually, two or three people per board are required. "Adding diverse voices to the mix is not enough" Randall explains that although diversity can benefit your business, there is no guarantee that it will unless you embrace it by doing the inclusion work engagement, which is hard to do. Well-managed diversity leads to tangible changes in the culture of how a board operates and interacts (making it more inclusive and collaborative), which has positive effects on the bottom line and corporate value. "Stop saying that diversity is going to get you a better outcome"To be world-class, you have to be diverse because the research shows more diverse groups produce more varied outcomes. The very best groups are highly diverse, but so are the worst ones. Randall outlines some areas where his research was surprising. Firstly, the business case for diversity as traditionally formulated can actually have a strong negative impact. When you diversify and put a spotlight on people who are different, it can feel threatening and diminish performance. Secondly, Randall found that boards that are really good at one type of diversity are typically not great at another. Some boards were really good at gender, but not very good at race and ethnicity, and vice versa. There is now a better understanding that the barriers to entry for different groups are different. "Having a growth mindset, focusing on how we can get better outperforms any other culture"Randall finds that interviewees are often somewhat reluctant to talk about demographic diversity because they don't want to 'get it wrong.' Most care deeply about diversity and should be braver in raising those issues in conversation, in nomination processes, etc. He wants to encourage people to have these conversations, being positive about what can be done, and what can be done better. The research shows very clearly that having a growth mindset, focusing on "how we can get better" outperforms any other culture, in terms of ways of working.The three top takeaways from our conversation are:1.      The importance of being willing and able to advocate for diversity, as there are often many more allies around the table than we typically anticipate.2.     Every single director has a role to play in creating a culture of learning and growth and focusing on 'how do we get better', instead of 'what we do wrong'. Focus on what can be improved.3.     To identify a diverse set of directors successfully, pause the search and seek out a smaller search firm that specialises in different groups of people, because there are a lot of highly qualified, highly motivated, great potential directors waiting to be found

We recently hosted two events for our clients and industry partners to help drive improvements around how companies run their AGM, or any other form of shareholder meeting.Each event featured a brilliant presentation from Maureen Beresford and Kelvin Ernest from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) on new guidance they've issued to help make AGMs more simple, accessible and effective. We therefore decided to sit them down afterwards with our very own Steve Playford so they could share some insights.If you'd like to find out more information about the Financial Reporting Council, their new guidelines and more – go to www.frc.org.uk Hosted on Acast.

Audit in the UK is in transition, with major reform and increased regulation being planned by the Government and the Financial Reporting Council. This episode with ICEAW Manchester and Alliance MBS will give the business community the opportunity to feedback to the government and to comment on the proposed reforms. This episode will also look to highlight the areas where practising and business accountants and Directors can start to understand how to deal with the changes. There will be ample opportunity for the audience, both present and online, to question the panel and make constructive comments on the proposals. Background In July 2022, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) published a Position Paper setting out the next steps to reform the UK's audit and corporate governance framework. The paper follows the Government Response to the consultation on strengthening the UK's Corporate Governance, Corporate Reporting and Audit systems, including the creation of the Audit, Reporting and Governance Authority (ARGA), to replace the FRC. The document builds on the areas of the Government Response that fall within the FRC's remit, providing advanced clarity for stakeholders on how the work of reform will be delivered ahead of government legislation. That work includes revising existing codes, strengthening auditing and accounting standards, setting expectations to drive behavioural change ahead of statutory powers, and the development of guidance to address issues set out in the Government Response. In particular, the Position Paper sets out proposed changes to the UK Corporate Governance Code. This will provide a stronger framework for reporting on the effectiveness of internal controls and Board responsibilities for expanded sustainability and ESG reporting, and new guidance on enhanced resilience statements and fraud reporting by directors.

BIO: Paul Smith is an independent corporate director and private investor with significant experience in the Financial Services and Investment Funds industries. He served as President and global CEO of CFA Institute from 2015 to 2019. STORY: Paul and his friends put in money to start a hedge fund seeding business in Hong Kong. The financial crisis hit just when they had received about 40% funding and had to pay back the investors who chose to get out. The partners had to close down the business and lost quite a substantial investment. LEARNING: Have a unique business model that investors will want to back. Don't have a highly concentrated shareholder base. Get your business to at least $3 million as fast as possible to survive.   “Don't allow the excitement of a startup to cloud your judgment.”Paul Smith  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-smith-cfa/ (Paul Smith) is an independent corporate director and private investor with significant experience in the Financial Services and Investment Funds industries. He served as President and global CEO of https://www.cfainstitute.org/ (CFA Institute) from 2015 to 2019. He currently serves as a member of the Oversight, Policy, and Governance Committee of the https://www.frc.org.hk/en-us (Financial Reporting Council of Hong Kong). He is a https://www.sfc.hk/en/ (Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission)'s Products Advisory Committee member. He is a founder of the http://sustainfinance.org/ (Sustain Finance )initiative and a trustee of the China Insight Foundation. Worst investment everPaul made a substantial amount of money from the sale of a business he owned, and he decided to quit his job and go out on his own. He set up a hedge fund seeding business in Hong Kong that he and a couple of other individuals funded with their money. Paul invested seven figures into the business. The plan was to set up the infrastructure behind a regulated asset management company, then go out and raise private equity-type investments to fund an investment vehicle. The investment vehicle would then, in turn, go out and seed investment managers. The partners raised money from a couple of institutions and some family and friends. The fund got regulated, and they began to seed managers, mainly in Asia but scattered worldwide. The company was about 40% invested when the 2008 financial crisis hit. Their institutional partners pulled the rug from underneath them. They paid the institutional partners back and unwound the business. As partners, they took quite a hit when the company ended. Lessons learnedWhen looking for investors, make sure you have a unique business model worth backing. Your shareholder base shouldn't be too concentrated. Raise enough money for your business for it to survive. Resilience is vital when running a business. Andrew's takeawaysIf you can't find any uniqueness in what you're doing, then be good in execution, or work with someone unique. You've got to get your business to between $3 to $5 million in revenue as fast as possible because that is how you'll afford everything that makes you a professional company that can survive. Sometimes the success of your business depends on your timing into the market. Actionable adviceDon't allow the excitement of a startup to blind you from implementing the lessons you've learned. Check your excitement and keep learning. No. 1 goal for the next 12 monthsPaul's goal for the next 12 months is to try and get Sustain Finance more firmly established and get some corporate sponsors to help with that. He also wants to hire more researchers and significantly impact China's asset management community. Parting words  “Remain curious. Keep asking yourself why other people are different from you in a non-judgmental fashion.”Paul Smith  [spp-transcript]   Connect with Paul Smithhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-smith-cfa/ (LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/Paul_Smith (Twitter)...
