About this event

Although there is currently no regulatory requirement to conduct formal evaluations, Board Assurance Reviews (BARs) are increasingly being seen as an important exercise for well-functioning fund boards. Board Assurance Reviews can not only provide assurance that the board is discharging its duties effectively but can also bring to the fore valuable additional insights into important aspects of the board’s operations. FBC sees many boards using these reviews as a means of examining areas such as succession planning, opportunities to enhance certain governance practices and their board processes.

In early 2024, FBC will be conducting cross-border research into this important topic as part of its Fund Board Effectiveness Barometer research series. FBC’s Barometer research will shed light on the state of BARs specifically for fund boards, identifying the format, scope and frequency of review approaches at different fund boards. As well as presenting highlights on the state of BARs in the industry, the research will identify good practices and provide a checklist of key considerations for boards considering initiating or improving their own board review process.

This event will launch the research findings, available exclusively to FBC Corporate Members, to provide fund board chairs, company secretaries and other governance professionals with valuable insights to help inform their own approaches to BARs.
