Pensions Governance

Good pension scheme governance is more important than ever with the Pension Regulator’s General Code.

We work with trustee boards to carry out a gap analysis of scheme procedures, documentation, capabilities and effectiveness as required. We highlight areas of excellence and demonstrate compliance using our award-winning scheme extranet. Working alongside our clients, we can develop an agreed plan that helps deliver scheme-specific improvements.

We make sure pension scheme sponsors and trustees stay up to date with all statutory requirements by giving updates, training, and clear project plans with timelines for improved compliance.

Learn how to demonstrate compliance and operate an effective system of governance on our Pensions Governance hub. We can help schemes get to grips with responsibilities in vital areas such as ESG, and data protection and cyber security.

• Advising pension trustees of a global technology company on all pensions matters, including on scheme governance with a review of the default fund for the defined contribution section and training for governance knowledge gaps. We developed new governance, risk management and self-assessment tools for both defined benefit and defined contribution sections.
• Advising both large and smaller (sub-£100m) pension schemes on navigating compliance with the General Code requirements using our Pensions Governance Hub. This is helping those clients assess, comply and maintain the required high standards of governance.

• Delivering cyber security training to the trustees of a defined benefit scheme, with an interactive session simulating what should happen in the event of a data breach occurring.
