Audit committee minimum standards: UK Corporate Governance Code 2024

For the third episode of the FRC's podcast series exploring the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024, Kate O’Neill, Director of Stakeholder Engagement and Corporate Affairs, is joined by Maureen Beresford, Director of Corporate Governance and Stewardship at the FRC, and Wendy Barnes, portfolio non-executive director and cyber resilience advisor.

The conversation focuses on the growing importance of cyber risk in corporate governance, particularly in light of the revised Code coming into effect in 2026. They discuss how boards can approach cyber risk as a strategic issue rather than a purely technical one, the role of board-level oversight, and the importance of building organisational resilience. The episode also highlights practical tools and frameworks available to support boards in navigating this evolving area.
