The ‘comply or explain’ model, long a cornerstone of corporate governance frameworks, is under increasing scrutiny. While designed to enhance transparency and accountability, it is now often viewed as burdensome and overly procedural, with limited effectiveness in practice.
This roundtable discussion will assess the current state of the model, drawing on insights from our recent expert exchange. We will explore the practical challenges companies face in delivering meaningful disclosures, examine the emerging shift toward alternatives such as ‘apply and explain’, and consider how evolving expectations are reshaping governance practices.
With regulatory requirements intensifying and stakeholder demands growing, organizations face mounting pressure to balance robust governance with strategic flexibility. This session offers legal and governance professionals a timely opportunity to reflect on the path forward toward more effective, proportionate, and purpose-driven reporting.
