The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland has today welcomed the publication by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of the UK Stewardship Code 2020 (the Code), believing that the revised version reflects the changing needs of asset owners and public expectations.

The FRC and its successor will need to monitor asset manager reporting and activity to ensure that this is not the case, the Institute stresses.
