What's next for UK corporate governance after reform disruption?

UK Corporate Governance and Audit reform hangs in the balance following the omission of relevant primary legislation from the King’s Speech at the opening of the 2023-2024 session of parliament. Following the earlier withdrawal of secondary legislation from the parliamentary schedule it is clear that reform is on the ropes – at least for now.

For companies that have been working hard to prepare for compliance, this is a blow. The proposed reforms, which also included changes to the UK Corporate Governance Code, were of a scale and scope that meant companies had to act ahead of implementation or accept considerable compliance risk. So what should those companies do now and how should all UK businesses be thinking about corporate governance and audit in the current climate?
