The Chartered Governance Institute has today published guidance about ‘Shareholder meetings under the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020’. The guidance has been drafted by a Working Party of the City of London Law Society Company Law Committee and the Institute, with the support of GC100, the Investment Association and the Quoted Companies Alliance. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Financial Reporting Council have both endorsed the guidance, which is an updated version of guidance about AGMs issued by the Institute in March 2020.

ICSA: The Chartered Governance Institute is pleased to announce details of the newly elected branch council for its Isle of Man branch, which supports members and students of the Institute living and working on the island. The branch plays a crucial role in promoting good governance on the Isle of Man, something which enhances the island’s reputation as a good place to business.

The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland has summarised the key points from the spring budget announcement, allowing you easily find what is relevant to you.

The Chancellor's first budget contained much which had already been trailed over the previous days. Although there was some better news on the economy, it’s clear that we are still in difficult times.

Plenty of announcements in today’s autumn budget. The Chancellor took an hour to outline all his proposals to the House of Commons, in which he said the government would prioritise ‘Stability, growth and public services’.

The Charity Commission has been working hard to make its guidance more accessible to trustees. Better governance and compliance around key areas for trustee decision-making is the prize.
