The Financial Reporting Council is a UK public regulatory body focused on governance, corporate reporting, audit, and actuarial work. Based in London, it supports UK economic growth by maintaining high standards in these areas and by representing UK interests in international standard-setting. It sets the UK Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes and establishes standards for accounting, auditing, and actuarial work, while monitoring quality and taking action as needed. The council maintains independent disciplinary arrangements for accountants and actuaries and oversees the regulatory activities of the accountancy and actuarial professional bodies. In March 2026 it published detailed guidance for audit firms on the use of generative and agentic AI in audit work.
