Interview with Stephen Haddrill, CEO of the UK’s Financial Reporting Council

The UK’s Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is one of the world’s leading financial regulators, widely respected for its thought leadership and innovative approaches. In this extensive interview, FRC Chief Executive Stephen Haddrill shares his thoughts about how the organisation has evolved over recent years, the challenges ahead and how he sees the FRC continuing to exert influence in a post-Brexit future. Above all, he rates the ability of auditors to exercise independent judgement in an increasingly complex and technology-driven world as the key challenge for maintaining investor confidence in the quality of corporate reporting.
