The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators has published its response to the FRC's review of the effectiveness of the Combined Code and Sir David Walker's review of bank governance. Whilst welcoming in broad terms the work of the FRC and Sir David, ICSA makes clear that some of Sir David's recommendations should not be applied to all listed companies. For example, Sir David's seventh recommendation - the chairman should be expected to commit a substantial proportion of his or her time, probably not less than two-thirds, to the business - is described by ICSA as "too prescriptive" to apply to all listed companies.Note: Sir David will be publishing final recommendations on November 26th.
