Description

The purpose of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is to serve the public interest by setting high standards of corporate governance, reporting and audit and by holding to account those responsible for delivering them.

Delivering on our purpose will bring a variety of benefits. Improved outcomes, created by each of our regulatory activities are shown in the circle (below); each of which can positively reinforce others in the circle and contribute to overall benefits for a wide range of stakeholders such as greater transparency, increased trust in UK markets and a lower cost of capital for companies. Our direct stakeholders include companies, institutional investors, auditors, actuaries, accountants and their respective professional bodies. Our indirect stakeholders include retail shareholders, suppliers, employees, customers, communities, pensioners and savers, and financial institutions, all of whom have an interest in the health of companies and other organisations within our existing and future regulatory scope and in the success of the UK corporate sector as a whole.

Project Requirements
• An agency offering Stakeholder engagement support and services with extensive experience in helping public interest bodies.
• Experience in supporting organisations undertaking extensive change programmes as the FRC transitions into a new regulator ARGA.
• Creative approaches to creating content for a range of audiences on a number of highly technical policy areas
• Strong experience in supporting financial services organisations both in the corporate and regulatory world in times of public and government scrutiny/regulatory change
• Excellent written skills to summarise key research and findings into easily digestible collateral, and design thinking to recommend where infographics/visual content will have greater impact
• Provide insights and market knowledge to suggest and promote thought leadership opportunities for the FRC
• Stakeholder mapping of UK and international regulatory and political landscapes and monitoring/measurement of stakeholder perceptions of the activities and influence of the FRC and identifying areas for enhancement and improvement
