Abstract
The primary purpose of this article was undertaken to find out if the disclosure by standard and premium listed companies in the United Kingdom(UK) is a suitable mechanism to regulate the corporate governance of such companies. It went further to determine if the disclosure mechanisms, be it mandatorily or voluntary are sufficient to regulate a company. If not, to identify remedial measures.
This article thus studied the various disclosures made by standard and premium listed companies in the UK as it is, its problems and recommended other corporate governance mechanisms to support the disclosure mechanism used in regulating corporate governance so as to foster investors and potential investors confidence in investee companies.
