FRC launches consultation on how new regulator ARGA should be funded
Reading time: 2 minutes
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has launched a consultation on its draft proposals for how the new regulator, the Audit, reporting and Governance Authority (ARGA), should be funded.
This follows the Government Response to its consultation on Restoring Trust in Audit and Corporate Governance, which set out its intention to give ARGA statutory powers to raise a levy so that it has a sustainable and independent basis on which to carry out its regulatory activities.
ARGA will play a key role in protecting and promoting the interests of investors, other users of corporate reporting and the wider public interest.
The FRC is seeking the views of its stakeholders on the overall approach to ARGA’s funding, the proposed funding model, and the groups that should fund each of its regulatory activities. This is to ensure ARGA can fulfil its aims and that the right people and organisations are levied proportionately.
Following this consultation, and subject to the Government’s legislative plans, the FRC expects to consult further on detailed aspects of the proposed arrangements, to be contained in a Rule Book.
The consultation will run until Friday, 21 October. Respondents should submit their comments to FRC.Plan.Budget@frc.org.uk by close of business on that date.
