Pensions governance is all about monitoring pension schemes to ensure that they are run in their members’ interests. An effective system of governance should include processes and procedures to ensure compliance with the legislation in place, as well as transparency of the activity of the pension scheme managers. It is essential that those charged with responsibility for managing the pension scheme have a clear purpose and strategy, the right skills and experience available, ability to manage risks and conflicts of interest, and making sure that the pension scheme provides value for members. Their tasks require that they cover the key aspects of governance, regulatory requirements, investment strategies, risk management, and the operational aspects of managing pension schemes.
