This event will help audit committees plan for these changes and enable investors to have a say in what changes they would find most helpful.  The event features a speech from Jo Swinson (Minister for Employment Relations, Consumer and Postal Affairs). Other speakers include Melanie McLaren (FRC’s Director of Codes and Standards) and Steve Barber (Audit committee Chair Next plc).
