Governance, Administration & Projects

We design our services with the needs of Committee and Board members, Fund officers and Fund members in mind, which is why our team is a collection of specialists. We know that to have a well-run Fund, you need to ensure that decision makers are supported with good governance, that the Fund is administered effectively and efficiently and when change is needed, that it is delivered to the highest standard.

At a practical level this could mean:

• Reviewing the governance arrangements and policies a fund has in place to make sure they are fit for purpose and future proofed.
• Providing easy to access, bite-size training on specific topics to ensure that those who make decisions and deal with benefits are informed.
• Working with a Fund to review how they currently administer the Fund and supporting them to implement changes at an individual process level or wholesale restructure.
• Advising funds on the management of a host of risks and challenges, from cyber risk and data improvement to managing projects to achieve regulatory compliance or accreditation.

The NKA provided us with a strong indication of knowledge levels and allowed us to accurately tailor our training plans. I believe it’s important to carry out this type of assessment to ensure our Fund is on track with its training goals.
