Fund Board Assurance Reviews

Fund Board Assurance Review

Fund Boards Council provides a highly customisable Fund Board Assurance Review, which can be tailored to the specific requirements of an individual fund board, including UK fund boards, cross-border corporate/ManCo and other investment governance boards.

We work with the chair and board directors – both executive and independent – to conduct a bespoke evaluation that is specific to the requirements and dynamics of individual fund boards and the expectations of the regulator.

BOARD Assurance REVIEWS

Fund Boards Council’s Board Assurance Reviews support firms’ ongoing efforts to enhance their board effectiveness by:

Reviewing the performance of the Board and individual directors

Assessing how effective the board is in discharging its duties and upholding high standards of governance

Supporting the board by providing an independent perspective on any governance challenges or opportunities

Identifying and providing recommendations to enhance effectiveness, governance and efficiency

What we offer

Fund Board Assurance Review

Tailored to the needs of individual firms, BAR typically provides an in-depth review and analysis of the following:

  • Board Structure and Composition
  • Board Process
  • Effective Board Dynamics and Behaviours
  • Directors’ Skills Evaluation
  • Firm-specific topics, for example: succession planning, move from Independent to Executive Chair etc


The Fund Board Assurance Review can be provided as an independent one-off review or carried out at intermittent periods, such as annually, enabling visibility of progress, change and needs over time.

Next Event - FBC webinar: Effective oversight of investment managers for fund boards

In this Digital Meeting, FBC will explore how the evolving regulatory landscape and their firms’ governance is shaping fund boards’ oversight of investment managers (IMs). We share findings from FBC’s own research into how fund boards are holding their IMs to account across a range of areas, such as alignment with investment objectives, capacity constraints, risk management, culture and conflicts to name but a few. Open to corporate members, register online via the FBC Member Portal.
