Our past Governance Readout events
Digitisation of UK shares webinar
As the digitisation of UK shares gathers pace, this webinar discussed what dematerialisation and what it means for issuers. Hear directly from a DEMAT committee member about recent developments, the actions being taken across the market, and the practical considerations governance teams should be thinking about now.
How dematerialisation will impact public companies
With dematerialisation underway, our expert panel discussed the latest update, covering how digitisation will impact public companies across the UK. We were joined by a DEMAT committee member, and you could hear about the work of the taskforce, what actions are being taken and how this seismic market change impacts your organisation.
Insights into the ECCTA
Late 2025, we brought together governance professionals for a focused discussion on one of the most significant pieces of legislative updates – the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA). Attendees heard from expert speakers, explored the practical implementations of the act, and had the opportunity to connect with peers navigating the same challenges.
