Welcome to the storyline of the Hampel Report!
The Cast: Sir Ronald Hampel 🌟
Before diving into the substance, let’s take a moment to appreciate the leading man - Sir Ronald Hampel, an accounting rockstar who took on the herculean task of reviewing the humdrum Cadbury Code (hint: it’s juicier than it sounds) and combining it with the zesty Greenbury recommendations.
The Plot 🎬
Act I: The Review and Mastermind 🧠✍️
The Hampel Report wasn’t pulled out of a hat; it’s a sequel that had the mandate to review the implementation of the Cadbury Report and the Greenbury Report. It combined their governance wizardry into a new guardian of corporate conduct, known grandiosely as the Corporate Governance Code.
