The Company Affairs Group


Who we are

The Company Affairs Group is a small group of legally qualified policy staff. We formulate CBI policy via member input in order to respond to consultations and to influence policy and legislation at UK or EU level.

What we do

We deal mainly with the following areas of policy:
  • Company law and corporate governance
  • Competition
  • Consumer
  • General commercial (contract, jurisdiction and applicable law)
  • Financial reporting
  • Financial services

We produce a monthly update for members aimed at finance directors on corporate and financial developments, together with the tax and economics departments. To receive a copy, email financial.update@cbi.org.uk.

We also offer legislative tables covering many of these areas to members via our Brussels Office. These tables list current EU legislative proposals in areas such as consumer, financial services and company law. If you would like to find out more about what we offer, email the Brussels office.


Committees

CBI policy is formulated by committees of members with the relevant specialist knowledge, who advise us on how to respond to consultations and on other issues which we should be taking forward with UK government, and the European commission and parliament.

The main committees are:
  • Boardroom Issues Group
  • Financial Services Council
  • Companies Committee
In addition we have the following committees:
  • Corporate Law Panel
  • Competition Panel
  • Consumer Panel
  • Financial Reporting Panel
  • Insolvency

We also run ad hoc working groups which look at specific issues – for example, the Company Law Review.

Vacancies on our committees occur from time to time, so please speak to your usual CBI contact for information on these.
