Corporate Governance Statement & Diversity Policy Disclosure for Irish Listed Companies

Listed companies in Ireland must comply with the Companies Act 2014 and the Irish Corporate Governance Annex requirements. This comprehensive CRO corporate governance statement template helps your organisation prepare and submit compliant disclosure documentation including diversity policy reporting requirements.

Streamlined Compliance Reporting with Paperform

Rather than juggling multiple Word documents, email chains and manual tracking, this Paperform template consolidates all required governance disclosures into one structured submission. The form guides you through each regulatory requirement—from board composition and diversity metrics to internal control statements and audit committee reporting—ensuring nothing is missed before your filing deadline.

Paperform's conditional logic automatically adapts the form based on your company structure, governance code selection and diversity policy approach, so you only see questions relevant to your circumstances. This eliminates confusion and speeds up completion for your company secretary or compliance team.

Connect Your Governance Workflow with Stepper

Once submitted, you can use Stepper to automate your internal review and approval process. Route submissions to the board secretary, trigger reminders to the audit committee chair, update your compliance tracker in Airtable or Notion, and send final approved statements to external advisors—all without manual handoffs. Stepper ensures your governance reporting stays on track and audit-ready throughout the year.

Ideal for Listed Companies, PLCs and Regulated Entities

This template is designed for Irish public limited companies (PLCs), entities listed on Euronext Dublin, and other organisations required to file corporate governance statements with the CRO. It's equally valuable for legal advisors, company secretaries, compliance officers and corporate governance consultants managing multiple client filings.

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant with robust data security, making it suitable for sensitive corporate governance information. Store submissions securely, generate PDF records for your statutory registers, and maintain a clear audit trail for all compliance disclosures.

Whether you're preparing your first governance statement or streamlining annual compliance cycles, this template provides the professional structure and flexibility Irish companies need to meet their CRO obligations with confidence.
