flag UK drops corporate reform bill amid cost concerns, leaving oversight gaps unaddressed.

flag The UK government has scrapped its proposed Audit and Corporate Governance Reform Bill, citing concerns over costs and regulatory burden for large businesses. flag The move, announced on the eighth anniversary of the Carillion collapse, halts efforts to strengthen director accountability, redefine public interest entities, and create a more powerful regulator. flag While the government says it will focus on streamlining corporate reporting, critics warn the decision undermines financial stability and global competitiveness. flag The Financial Reporting Council still lacks statutory status and enforcement powers, and no timeline has been set for addressing these gaps.
