Overview
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is the UK’s regulator for the accounting, audit and actuarial professions and is also responsible for corporate governance in the UK.
The FRC Board is responsible for the overall governance and strategy of the FRC and ultimately approves all codes and standards issued by the FRC. The chair and deputy chair are appointed by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills. Other Board members are appointed by the Board. The Board is supported by three governance committees (the Audit, Remuneration and Nominations Committees) and by the Executive Committee, the Conduct Committee and the Codes and Standards Committee. The committees as explained below.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is responsible for:
recommending the strategic direction of the FRC Board;
providing day to day oversight of the work of the FRC, its operational policies and protection of the FRC reputation;
overseeing the implementation of the FRC business plan;
advising the FRC Board on the budget, business plan, Board agenda and management of the organisation; and
debating and resolving issues affecting the Codes and Standards and Conduct divisions.
Codes and standards Committee
The Codes and Standards Committee, chaired by the Executive Director Codes and Standards, is responsible for all of the codes and standards set by the FRC. It considers proposed standards and guidance recommended to the FRC through its three councils, each of which is advised by a staff team:
The Accounting Council, supported by the Accounting and Reporting Policy Team, is responsible for the development of UK accounting standards as well as considering and commenting on international proposals. It also carries out proactive work on international standard setting, most commonly with EFRAG. The Accounting and Reporting Policy Team work with the FRC’s own Financial Reporting Lab to research emerging issues and good practice. The Audit and Assurance Council, supported by the Audit and Assurance Team, is responsible for the development of International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and associated practice notes and bulletins, ethical standards for auditors and reporting accountants, statements of investment circular reporting standards and other UK assurance standards. It also provides input to the IAASB on the development of International Standards on Auditing and to the IESBA on the development of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. It is also responsible for the FRC’s work on the Audit Quality Framework. The Actuarial Council, supported by the Actuarial Policy Team, is responsible for the development of actuarial standards and guidance for the UK.
The Committee is directly responsible for corporate governance codes and guidance for companies and investors, assisted by a Corporate Governance Team.
Conduct Committee
The Conduct Committee carries out a range of regulatory, inspection and enforcement activities in relation to accounting, auditing and actuarial work:
It oversees the Audit Quality Review Team, which inspects auditors of public interest entities. It is responsible for the oversight of the regulation of accountants and actuaries, including monitoring of recognised supervisory bodies and recognised qualifying bodies (the UK’s professional accounting institutes and associations). Assisted by its Monitoring Committee, it oversees the Corporate Reporting Review Team, which is the enforcement mechanism for accounting by UK companies. In certain cases, the team may convene a Financial Reporting Review Group drawn from the Financial Reporting Review Panel to consider the issue. Assisted by its Case Management Committee, it oversees investigation and enforcement action in public interest cases. This includes cases against preparers of financial statements as well as accountants and actuaries in business and practice.
