Pension Scheme Compliance

A wealth of pensions legislation has created complex governance issues for pension scheme trustees and sponsoring employers in order to ensure compliance with all statutory (and trust law) requirements.

In addition to the primary legislation there are numerous additional statutes and regulations which expand upon the requirements of these statutes. In 2010 alone, there were 66 sets of regulations issued in relation to pensions. Similarly the change in approach with the new Pensions Regulator has led to guidance and codes of practice which although not legislation themselves,provide an indication as to how the Pensions Regulator expects employers and trustees to comply with the relative legislative requirements.

We can help and support you by:

  • Explaining legislative and trust law requirements and preparing documentation, where appropriate, to ensure compliance with the ever changing field of pensions law
  • Regularly issuing electronic alerts to clients updating them on recent changes and suggesting how compliance can be achieved.
  • Creating and or advising on Governance Policies and related Internal Controls procedures and specific policies  such as trustee knowledge and understanding, administrative issues, funding, conflicts of interests, discretionary practices.

We also advise our clients on an ad hoc basis on specific topical governance issues and run general governance and compliance training workshops. This training can be combined, with more tailored training sessions at clients' offices.
