The Financial Reporting Council had issued a consultation paper on new requirements for risk management and risk reporting in 2014 and the new rules required major listed companies to undertake robust risk assessments, often backed up by scenario modelling, and for auditors to be able to investigate and challenge the work done to evidence these assessments.
The working party’s key objectives were to:
- investigate how the profession could increase awareness of the potential contribution actuaries could make in this area, either by direct approaches to interested parties, or by general messaging
- provide a forum for development of ideas and training materials or events, and sharing of best practice in this area.
Further information relating to the new UK Corporate Governance Code from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and the FRC and Risk Reporting Working Party is available here.
