The Hundred Group is a lobby group for finance directors of the UK’s largest companies. It is described as “the most influential organisation that you’ve never heard of”."<ref>[http://www.financialdirector.co.uk/financial-director/analysis/1933421/comes-shadows The Hundred Group comes out of the shadows], Financial Director, 20 December 2010</ref>

It has reportedly had tax issues at the top of its agenda for years.<ref>[http://www.financialdirector.co.uk/financial-director/analysis/1933421/comes-shadows The Hundred Group comes out of the shadows], Financial Director, 20 December 2010</ref>

According to former Hundred Group Chairman Philip Broadley, who called the organisation “a peculiarly British idea”: “The Hundred Group has been around for 35 years, influencing in a quiet way. It’s a successful formula and I’m not about to radically change it.”<ref>[http://www.financialdirector.co.uk/financial-director/analysis/1933421/comes-shadows The Hundred Group comes out of the shadows], Financial Director, 20 December 2010</ref>

Journalist Melanie Stern, writing in ''Financial Director'' in November 2010 challenges this approach:
:"The Hundred Group must review this strategy. Though it may be thought some sort of best practice for a group of such high-ranking FDs to keep schtum on high-ranking conversations and deals brokered, even giving the group an air of authority and mystique that reconfirms its image as a top-flight pressure group, it has always seemed bizarre that their chairman seemingly could never make the time to return calls from journalists covering those efforts on behalf of FDs everywhere."<ref>Melanie Stern, [http://www.financialdirector.co.uk/financial-director/extraordinary-items-blog/1900047/vodafone-cfo-chair-king-mythical-castle Vodafone CFO to chair The Hundred Group: King of a mythical castle], 23 November 2010</ref>
