2007 Review of the Combined Code


The FRC undertakes regular reviews of the impact and implementation of the Combined Code to ensure that it continues to work effectively.

The 2007 review began with a public consultation exercise that was held between April and July. Views were invited on any aspect of implementation of the Code, but in particular on the following questions:

* Does the Code support better board performance over time?
* Is the ‘comply or explain’ approach working effectively?
* What impact has the Code had on smaller companies?
* Do disclosures on the Combined Code in annual reports provide useful information to shareholders at proportionate cost to companies?
