As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, our latest Governance Watch podcast brings together legal experts from Ashurst to examine four significant developments that boards and governance professionals should be aware of.
The discussion covers:
• The introduction of a new corporate fraud offence under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act
• Progress on sustainability reporting standards in both the UK and EU
• Upcoming identity verification requirements for directors and persons with significant control
• Updated modern slavery reporting guidance from the UK government
Neil Donovan, Becky Clissmann and Will Chalk offer practical insights into how these changes may affect corporate governance frameworks and compliance strategies.
