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.

All trustees should be aware of the recent changes to Prudential Standard SPS 510 Governance, with new requirements having taken effect from 1 July 2017. However, many are still grappling with how best to gauge the effectiveness of their existing internal and external mandates. This masterclass series is designed to help trustees determine the appropriate structure to facilitate effective supervision over all areas of fund administration.

Facilitated by our legal experts from Thomson Geer, the discussion will focus on:

current requirements of SPS 510
the difference between board sub-committees and other delegations
the role of the RSE board where it establishes internal and external delegations
customary types of committee structures and their personnel
properly establishing a board sub-committee
reviewing the product of board sub-committees to ensure proper governance
the role of internal audit and compliance
managing defective delegations.
