Corporate Governance

Company Matters will be your partner on governance and compliance for your parent company and subsidiaries.

A good company secretary underpins informed decision-making. We make sure corporate governance is properly embedded in your company and culture, supporting your business growth – not just as a paper exercise.

We also help to communicate your story to key stakeholders while ensuring you meet your statutory and listing obligations. We flex to suit your needs and provide you with a full suite of company secretarial services or a tailored range that adapt to your needs. Including:

• Advice on Corporate Governance developments and best practice
• Provide gap analyses of compliance against the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Quoted Companies Alliance code or the Association of Investment Companies code
• Help companies plan ahead for upcoming changes in regulation
• Use our extensive experience to help companies and their advisors meet challenges from shareholders and proxy voting agencies
• Help companies in the development of policies on diversity
• Work with clients on climate change disclosures

Entity Governance

Within Company Matters, we have a dedicated entity governance team that provides regulatory compliance support to parent companies and their subsidiaries.

This enables companies to fulfil their statutory responsibilities efficiently, accurately and on time, removing the risk of penalties and repercussions of any missed filing deadlines or wrongly completed forms.

Our specialised technical team has expert know-how accumulated from supporting a wide range of clients, from FTSE-listed to private companies. We provide the full suite of statutory compliance support from company register health checks to prepare and file of all statutory forms.
