About this contract

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) regulates auditors, accountants and actuaries and sets the UK's Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes. As the Competent Authority for audit in the UK, we set auditing and ethical standards and monitor and enforce audit quality. The purpose of the FRC is to serve the public interest and support UK economic growth by upholding high standards of corporate governance, corporate reporting, audit and actuarial work.

This has included revisions to the UK Corporate Governance Code and Stewardship Code, alongside the development of a strengthened approach to audit supervision and enforcement. These changes mark a step forward in enhancing the effectiveness, clarity and proportionality of the UK's regulatory framework. At the same time, the FRC operates within a dynamic and evolving political landscape. Market development and shifting policy priorities require sustained and proactive engagement to ensure that the organisation's role, remit and impact are well positioned and understood by ministers, policymakers and other key stakehold
