PERG Annual Report And Updated Good Practice Guide

The Private Equity Reporting Group (PERG) has published its latest annual report on the private equity industry's compliance with the Guidelines for Disclosure and Transparency in Private Equity (known as the Walker Guidelines). PERG has also published a 2023 guide to good practice reporting by portfolio companies.

The aim of the Walker Guidelines, which were first published in 2007, is to increase transparency in the private equity industry through enhanced reporting and disclosure by the largest UK portfolio companies (that is UK companies acquired by one or more private equity firms where certain size thresholds and employee numbers are met) and their private equity owners.
