An Irish company must state in its annual report whether or not it has complied with the Irish Corporate Governance Code and if it has not complied with it, it must provide details of the provisions which were not complied with and its reasons for non-compliance. This consists of principles of good governance, dealing with the following areas:
The Irish Corporate Governance Code also includes provisions relating to board and committee structure and the independence of directors.

A foreign company must disclose in its annual report the corporate governance code to which it is subject or which it has voluntarily decided to apply, where that code is publicly available, and where it departs from the corporate governance code, explain which parts of the corporate governance code it departs from and the reasons for doing so.
