New QCA Code – Things You Need To Know

An introduction to the QCA Code 

In April 2018, the Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA) published a new Corporate Governance Code (the "QCA Code"). It replaces the QCA's Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-Size Quoted Companies 2013. 

The publication of the QCA Code coincides with the change to AIM Rule 26 which requires AIM companies to include on their website:

• details of a recognised corporate governance code that the board of directors of the AIM company has decided to apply;
• how the AIM company complies with that code; and
• where it departs from its chosen corporate governance code, an explanation of the reasons for doing so.
