UK: The Financial Reporting Council's strategy for 2016/19

The Financial Reporting Council - the organisation responsible, amongst other things, for the UK Corporate Governance Code and UK Stewardship Code - has published its strategy for the period 2016/19: see here (pdf). The strategy states, with regard to governance and stewardship, that the FRC will continue to promote [a] governance and corporate cultures that support the long-term success of companies and [b] effective investor stewardship and engagement between companies and investors. It also states the FRC's aim not to make changes to the UK Corporate Governance Code during 2016/19 (and longer if possible).
