Provision 29: Demonstrating confidence through continuous assurance.
A practical guide for boards and executives on building defensible control effectiveness - turning compliance into confidence.
Empower your board to prove control effectiveness - not just claim it.
In today’s evolving governance landscape, boards are under growing pressure to demonstrate that internal controls are effective - not just documented.
Provision 29 of the revised UK Corporate Governance Code (2024) introduces a new requirement for listed companies to make a formal, public declaration confirming that their material controls have operated effectively throughout the year.
This eBook, How to Prove Control Effectiveness with Provision 29, breaks down what the change means, what boards need to do, and how to transform compliance activities into actionable assurance.
Inside you’ll learn:
- What Provision 29 requires and when it takes effect
- How boards can define “material controls” and evidence effectiveness
- Why risk registers aren’t enough - and what real assurance looks like
- Practical steps to move from one-off reviews to continuous oversight
- How leading organisations are preparing their declarations for 2026
