UK Corporate Governance Code by Design Workshop

Building Modern Risk and Control Frameworks for UK Corporate Governance

Provision 29 represents the most significant change in UK corporate governance in over a decade, requiring UK-listed company boards to affirm and disclose the ongoing effectiveness of their risk management and internal controls beyond single point-in-time assessments. Join Michael Rasmussen, GRC Analyst & Pundit of GRC 20/20, and Henry Umney, Managing Director of GRC Strategy at Mitratech, for an interactive in-person workshop offering practical insights and a blueprint for building and sustaining modern risk and control frameworks that meet these enhanced requirements.

Why Attend

This fundamental shift demands new approaches to risk and control framework design, governance structures, and board reporting. This workshop provides practical guidance for organizations navigating Provision 29 implementation while building sustainable frameworks that support both compliance and strategic objectives.
