effectiveness reviews across the FTSE 350 finds that while UK boards demonstrate a strong focus on strategic oversight, many fall short across other critical governance responsibilities, including risk oversight, succession planning and ESG.<\/p>\n<p>The report, <a href=\"https:\/\/avs-advisors.com\/ftse-board-report-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>What Boards Do Next

FTSE-listed companies. It examines disclosed board review results alongside corporate governance reports, offering one of the most comprehensive snapshots of how boards disclose how they allocate attention.<\/p>\n<p>The headline finding is an apparent imbalance in board focus. <strong>Strategic oversight dominates board review results<\/strong>, appearing in 80% of companies, making it by far the most consistently disclosed topic. By contrast, <strong>risk management appears in just 27% of corporate board reviews<\/strong>, ranking ninth out of ten themes, despite real world events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUK boards clearly understand their core mandate,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/avs-advisors.com\/portfolio-item\/frederik-otto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frederik Otto<\/a> of AvS Advisors. \u201cBut beyond strategy, at least half appear to operate at merely mediocre levels across other responsibilities that are increasingly central to resilience and long-term value creation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-19y53dh-1dbf2681bdfaf9af78c35bb7df1c1857\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-19y53dh-1dbf2681bdfaf9af78c35bb7df1c1857{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-19y53dh-1dbf2681bdfaf9af78c35bb7df1c1857 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mkcvp63n-e8fe5158a35bb5acaa6f6efeef332fb5\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-mkcvp63n-e8fe5158a35bb5acaa6f6efeef332fb5{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-mkcvp63n-e8fe5158a35bb5acaa6f6efeef332fb5 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mkcviccq-ef44d2f19d988d28d18cc97d690db52a'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h5><strong>Key findings include:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strategic oversight crowds out other priorities<\/strong><br \/>\nStrategy is the singular dominant theme in board review disclosures, with significantly lower and inconsistent coverage of governance, succession, board dynamics and stakeholder engagement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Risk oversight remains a persistent blind spot<\/strong><br \/>\nRisk management and internal controls remain among the least discussed topics in both board review results and follow-up priorities, despite real world events.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ESG is losing salience in board reviews<\/strong><br \/>\nESG and sustainability feature in only 21% of corporate board reviews and just 4% among Investment Trusts, suggesting a shift away from ESG as a board-level performance topic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engagement with Global Issues is uneven<\/strong><br \/>\nOnly 60% of corporate boards and 50% of Investment Trust boards discuss at least one Global Issue\u2014such as climate, geopolitics, technology or macroeconomic volatility\u2014in their governance disclosures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disclosure does not equal prioritisation<\/strong><br \/>\nClimate and environmental issues dominate corporate governance reporting, appearing in over half of companies, yet are rarely reflected in board review results, pointing to disclosure-driven rather than governance-led engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-wq2w2d-6a6456322df6670dbd3039aa47d8a176\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-wq2w2d-6a6456322df6670dbd3039aa47d8a176{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-wq2w2d-6a6456322df6670dbd3039aa47d8a176 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mkcvilmr-494692038fc62259b067392d10464884'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The report distinguishes clearly between <strong>Corporate boards<\/strong> and <strong>Investment Trust boards<\/strong>, reflecting their different governance models.
