The Business Secretary has today (8 February) appointed 4 new directors to the Board of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC).
Angela Cha, Sir Ashley Fox, Clare Thompson and David Willis will serve as non-executive directors, helping to ensure strong standards of governance at the FRC, which promotes transparency and integrity across UK business.
The new appointments will work alongside Sir Jan du Plessis, who has been confirmed as the organisation’s new Chairman following a hearing with the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee in January.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said:
These appointments, drawing together directors with a wide range of experience, put the FRC in a strong position, and I look forward to working with Sir Jan and his team as we bolster the quality of audit and governance across UK plc.
