Corporate Governance Services at Alt-X Law
Elevating Your Corporate Governance Standards in the UK
In the dynamic landscape of UK corporate governance, staying ahead requires not just compliance but strategic foresight and adaptability, especially with the 2024 code. At Alt-X Law, we specialise in Corporate Law and Commercial Law, offering a suite of Corporate Governance Services designed to navigate the complexities of the UK Corporate Governance Code and beyond, preparing for when the new code will apply. Our expertise ensures your governance practices not only meet but exceed the standards set by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), enhancing transparency, accountability, and stakeholder trust, as highlighted in our annual report.
Expertise in UK Corporate Governance Code Compliance
The UK Corporate Governance Code sets the benchmark for governance excellence in publicly listed companies on the London Stock Exchange, with the new code applying from January 2024. Our services are tailored to guide you through the “comply or explain” framework, ensuring your governance practices are robust, transparent, and aligned with your company’s unique circumstances. From board leadership and company purpose to audit, risk, and internal control framework, Alt-X Law is your partner in achieving and maintaining the highest governance standards.
Risk Management and Internal Controls
Effective risk management and internal controls are at the heart of good corporate governance, aligning with the principles of the 2024 code. We assist in the development and review of your risk management frameworks and internal control systems, ensuring they are effective and fit for purpose, in accordance with the 2024 code. Our approach is to provide a declaration of effectiveness that not only meets the revised provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code but also positions your company as a leader in governance practices.
Board Composition and Succession Planning
A well-composed board and strategic succession planning are critical for long-term success, reflecting good governance principles. Alt-X Law advises on board composition, diversity, and inclusion, ensuring your board reflects a broad spectrum of skills, experiences, and perspectives. We also assist in developing transparent and effective succession plans that promote stability and continuity at the board level.
Audit Committee and Remuneration
Our consultancy extends to the formation and functioning of audit committees, ensuring they meet the FRC’s Minimum Standard and effectively oversee your company’s financial reporting, audit, and risk management processes. Additionally, we provide guidance on executive remuneration policies, including the development of malus and clawback provisions, to align executive incentives with long-term shareholder value and corporate goals.
Navigating ESG and Sustainability Reporting
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly central to corporate governance. Alt-X Law helps integrate ESG principles into your governance framework, advising on sustainability reporting and compliance with emerging regulations, as specified in the 2024 code.
