Summary
Dame Jayne-Anne was the chief executive of Virgin Money from 2007 until 2018 where she led the acquisition of Northern Rock after it was nationalised during the financial crisis. The appointment also comes after the Government ditched plans in January to establish a new regulator, the Audit, Reporting and Governance Authority, which was set to replace the FRC and have greater powers to tackle poor financial reporting. Mr Kyle said Dame Jayne-Anne was “perfectly placed to lead the FRC at this important time and I look forward to working with her to boost confidence in British businesses”.
Furthermore, Dame Jayne-Anne’s appointment will be scrutinised at a Business and Trade Committee session on Tuesday. The FRC has led major investigations in recent years such as into EY’s auditing of collapsed high street travel agent Thomas Cook, and KPMG’s auditing of collapsed outsourcing firm Carillion. Former Virgin Money boss and prominent businesswoman Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia has been announced as the Government’s pick to chair the UK’s auditing watchdog.
In addition, Dame Jayne-Anne said she was “honoured to be appointed chair of the FRC at such an important time for the organisation and for the UK economy”. If confirmed, she would succeed Sir Jan du Plessis who steps down at the end of September.
