In this podcast, we discuss the UK Government's long awaited consultation paper on audit and governance reform with the Financial Reporting Council's Kate O'Neill, Director of Stakeholder Engagement and Corporate Affairs, and Miranda Craig, Director of Strategy and Change. The consultation paper proposes some fundamental reforms in a number of areas in relation to audit, corporate governance and corporate reporting.
