External audit, audit committees, risk and internal controls teams, company secretaries and even internal audit are about to experience a step change in expectations and public scrutiny.

Three reports this year outline new audit committee standards which could transform the relationship with auditors. A corporate code review places a new emphasis on internal controls; and new rules demand increased accuracy of ESG disclosures and that companies report on their risk and resilience over the short, medium and long-term, changing the “going concern” and viability statements process beyond all recognition. Boards will need to re-evaluate and disclose Director appointments and upgrade succession planning; make new disclosures on fraud and their approach to dividends and capital allocation.
