Is it time to change how we view the AGM?
The Lens on Corporate Markets
12/02/22 • 11 min
We recently hosted two events for our clients and industry partners to help drive improvements around how companies run their AGM, or any other form of shareholder meeting.
Each event featured a brilliant presentation from Maureen Beresford and Kelvin Ernest from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) on new guidance they’ve issued to help make AGMs more simple, accessible and effective. We therefore decided to sit them down afterwards with our very own Steve Playford so they could share some insights.
