Provision 29 Readiness: Proving Effectiveness in the New Governance Era

The FRC no longer cares about your paper policies. Under Provision 29, you prove effectiveness or you admit failure. 2026 is the year of evidence.

Governance is not about thick binders of policies. It is about material control effectiveness. Under Provision 29 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, boards must now declare that their controls actually work. The era of box-ticking is dead.

If you cannot prove that your risk mitigations are effective with evidence, you are in breach. This is the year where Lead Auditor rigour moves from the back office to the boardroom. Compliance is a competitive advantage if done correctly.

Simplif-i provides the evidence-based reporting you need to satisfy the FRC. We prove your controls are working so you can focus on growth.
