We’ve made a splash in @watermagtweets! 💧☔️🚱Our latest warning to @DefraGovUK highlights a serious governance gap at South East Water - the absence of an internal audit function. Strong assurance should be seen as vital in such a critical public service. Read the story here: watermagazine.co.uk/2026/02/…

Thanks to @Feargal_Sharkey for supporting our letter to @DefraGovUK about South East Water's lack of an internal audit function. We first flagged this to @Ofwat two years ago and warned of exactly the kind of failures we've now seen with devasting impacts for customers.
"South East Water still has ‘troubling’ governance gap, warn auditors." I suspect there'll be 100,000 people in Tunbridge Wells and surrounding area not in the least surprised by any of that. ft.com/content/375b6647-8531…

Water companies are not required to have internal audit despite being critical national infrastructure⚠️Read our @FT coverage here: ft.com/content/375b6647-8531…

Read our open letter to @peterkyle @biztradegovuk, which sets out why the Government’s audit reform U-turn represents a step backwards for accountability and effective governance. Leading organisations including @The_IoD, @NEDonBoard, @ShareAction, and @UKshareholders have joined us in calling this out.
