Insurance industry organisations need to do more on stewardship, Financial Reporting Council (FRC) senior investment adviser Peter Montagnon has said.

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has published a "significant amendment" to auditing standards, aimed at improving transparency of financial statements.

Baroness Sarah Hogg is to step down as chairman of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), the governance body has announced.

More trustees must engage with initiatives like the Stewardship Code, according to UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association.

The Financial Reporting Council has been appointed a member organisation of the Accounting Standards Advisory Forum.

Almost all FTSE350 firms put all of their directors up for re-election every year thanks to increased take-up of the Stewardship Code, the Financial Reporting Council says.

Half of FTSE350 firms fail to comply with the UK corporate governance code, but more companies actively seek engagement with investors on governance issues than last year, Grant Thornton says.

The National Association of Pension Funds has launched a policy it says will help funds follow the Stewardship Code.

The Financial Reporting Council has brought actuarial work on pension incentive exercises into the scope of its technical actuarial standards.
