UKSA (UK Shareholders' Association) is the oldest shareholder campaigning organisation in the UK. We are a not for profit company that represents and supports shareholders who invest in the UK stock market.
By lobbying Government, the Financial Reporting Council, the Financial Conduct Authority and other bodies we strive to continually improve recognition and treatment for private investors.
Back in March 2020, in the context of various audit reform reviews and to help with their audit policy, the FRC felt the need to open up the discussion on the use of technology in audits to a wider range of stakeholders than regulators, standard setters and audit practitioners. UKSA and ShareSoc thought it was important to respond to this consultation from the point of view of a main consumer of statutory audits, private investors in shares in companies. UKSA’s and ShareSoc’s response, which was submitted to the FRC on 17th July 2020, can be found here.
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has just published a business case paper to separate the audit practices of the big four firms (PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY).
Better Finance, the European Investors' Federation, characterised the Wirecard collapse on Wednesday as 'an outrageous case of corporate governance, external auditing and regulatory failures', putting forward several policy recommendations for EU authorities.
