The FRC is responsible for promoting high standards of corporate governance. It aims to do so by:
- maintaining an effective Combined Code on Corporate Governance and promoting its widespread application;
- ensuring that related guidance, such as that on internal control, is current and relevant;
- influencing EU and global corporate governance developments;
- helping to promote boardroom professionalism and diversity; and
- encouraging constructive interaction between company boards and institutional shareholder
As part of the Lord Mayor of London's 'City of London - City of Learning' initiative, the FRC has published a booklet summarising the UK's approach to corporate governance. Copies can be downloaded here:
