Superannuation Governance Masterclass

Managing governance in practice

ASFA has partnered with Thomson Geer Lawyers to deliver the Superannuation Governance Masterclass: a series of intensive, classroom-style masterclasses designed to help the leaders of the superannuation industry to achieve governance best practice.

At each Masterclass, a team of industry experts will dissect a key area relating to superannuation governance and use case scenarios and real-life examples to demonstrate how the governance framework is best put into practice.

There will be limit of 25 participants for each Masterclass to allow for robust discussion, and to ensure that participants have ample opportunity to ask presenters questions.

Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance, which can be offered to APRA as proof of continuing professional development.
