Scheme Governance

Sackers' Governance Team brings together the firm’s collective experience to help clients establish and improve their governance frameworks.

More than ever, trustees need to ensure their governance measures are not merely there to tick boxes, but provide a meaningful process to encourage sound, transparent decision-making and to manage risk effectively.  External scrutiny creates added pressure, with the Pensions Regulator being increasingly focused on the promotion of good governance.

Sackers' Governance Team concentrates our in-depth expertise to help clients get to grips with the many challenges that effective governance presents.  Our practical experience can add value in a wide variety of areas, including:

• assisting with, and sitting on, MNT selection panels
• advising on "hot topics", such as record-keeping and conflicts of interests
• developing terms of reference for trustee sub-committees
• documenting job specifications for trustee chairs
• drafting governance policies
• providing general or bespoke trustee training
