UK Corporate Governance Code Solution

Turn Provision 29 Into a Defensible Boardroom Declaration

The UK Corporate Governance Code, set by the Financial Reporting Council, is the benchmark for board leadership, risk management, and corporate reporting at every premium listed company on the London Stock Exchange. Provision 29 raises that bar significantly. Boards must now declare annually that all material controls, financial, operational, reporting, and compliance, are effective, disclose any that are not, and show the actions taken to fix them. The requirement applies to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026. First visible in annual reports published during 2027 covering the 2026 financial year.

Meeting it takes more than a checklist. Boards need a defensible, end to end trail of evidence linking risk, controls, and audit, one that holds up under scrutiny. MetricStream's AI native, connected GRC platform builds that trail automatically, giving directors the visibility and confidence to stand behind a formal Provision 29 declaration.
