TPR Joins the Forum

On the 10th October, Pensions Managers gathered together to challenge The Regulator, following the publication of their governance survey last month. Justin Wray from The Pensions Regulator joined the eShare forum to discuss issues including: Scheme Transparency and Communications Internal Controls and Risk Management Conflicts of Interest "The eShare forum was a well-run and useful event," says Justin, "It provided the Regulator with a valuable insight into the governance issues faced by schemes." To read the questions the Regulator faced and his responses, please follow the link below. The next forum is scheduled for the 8th December.

Internal Controls is Coming....

The Regulators code of practice on Internal Controls will be finalised on the 22nd November. The code will cover trustees duties on how they can establish and implement adequate internal controls, as well as giving guidance on how to develop a risk management framework. eShare has developed eControls to help schemes in implementing the new code. To read the consultation document please follow the link below. We shall publish the full code on Internal Controls in our next edition. In our next newsletter, we will be issuing a demonstration of eControls, but if you would like to talk to us sooner about how eControls can help your scheme please call 0845 200 7829, or e-mail Alice.Cambata@eShareUK.com Internal Controls

On 31st October, eShare will be joining the NAPF Autumn Trustee Conference to discuss how implementing eShare can benefit any pension scheme. We will also be giving delegates the chance to win a Tom Tom GPS in-car navigation system, so we hope to see you there.
