The Government committed to conduct an assessment of the business review provisions under Section 417 of the Companies Act 2006 two years after implementation. These provisions came into force on 1 October 2007 for financial years beginning on or after that date. The first business reviews to be completed under these provisions will therefore be published this year and we expect to review how the provisions have worked in 2010, after two reporting cycles.

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is responsible for standards of corporate reporting and in that capacity issues guidance as well as monitoring compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The FRC has recently issued guidance on various reporting issues to help companies with reporting in the present economic conditions. In line with Section 83 of the Climate Change Act, the Government are committed to producing guidance to help those reporting on their greenhouse gas emissions by 1 October 2009. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will consult widely on the guidance prior to publication in September.
