Principle 1: Objectives
Status Suggestions Remarks
National laws should assign clear and explicit objectives to pension supervisors
Fully Implemented PenCom’s
responsibilities and duties are clearly defined in the Legislation
Section 15 of the PRA 2004 maybe amended to align it closer with PenCom’s vision
PenCom’s vision can be accommodated within its objective as defined by Section 15 of the PRA

Principle 2: Independence
Status Suggestions Remarks
Pension supervisory authorities should have operational independence
Broadly Implemented Most pre-
requisites for independence are in place
PenCom has an unusually large degree of freedom
However, undue executive influence might potentially be applied
Executive power to remove the Chairman and Executives could be abusedLegislation should have provided for phasing in executive appointments to provide some level of continuity Government should indemnify PenCom against fines, etc, from litigationA policy on information sharing with other Government Agencies should be developed
First three suggestions would take long period as it involves legislative processes PenCom has already established working relationships with all regulatory agencies and is working on signing MOUs with some of them

Principle 3: Adequate Resources
Status Suggestions Remarks
Pension Pension supervisors supervisors require require adequate adequate financial, financial, human and human and other resourcesother resources
Broadly Implemented Appropriate
budgeting processes are in place
There are processes to ensure that staff are of the right calibre
There is scope for budgeting to link more closely to the Strategy Plan and a tighter focus on high profile areas
More explicit linkage between the Corporate Strategy and the budget process, with consideration given to using a zero-based budgetMore effort and resource needs to be put into developing PenCom’s training capability
Initiatives in the Strategy Plan had been included in the Commission’s budget based on commencement datesPenCom has been collaborating with other agencies on capacity buildingEvery staff attends at least a local course in a yearPenCom & Operators are developing a Industry Training Institute

Principle 4: Adequate Powers
Status Suggestions Remarks
Pension supervisors should be endowed with the necessary investigatory and enforcement powers
Fully Implemented Wide range of
powers in relation to licensed operators
Responsibilities of operators are well established in legislation and have been amplified through regulations, standards and guidelines
PenCom has adequate powers in relation to employers but enforcing them can be challenging
Use the PFA statutory reserve fund to reduce risks to contributorsIntroduce a requirement for annual investment strategy as well as provide guideline on its preparation and contentIntroduce regulation covering actuarial valuations in the industryLeverage on establishing relationships to establish a database of eligible employers to facilitate employer compliance
All suggestions would be implemented

Principle 5: Risk Orientation
Status Suggestions Remarks
Risk Orientation - Pension supervision should seek to mitigate the greatest potential risks to the pension system
Broadly Implemented There is significant
risk orientation to many activities, notably the operator risk management, on-site and off-site inspection and risk assessments
Most of the major risks are being addressed and PenCom has responded proactively to identified risks
Strategy plan establishes objectives that reflect major risks
Some objectives lack rigour and formality, with no documented perspective on risk to enable prioritisation of initiatives
Consider phrasing departmental objectives in risk terms Undertake an assessment of the impact and probability of risks in the pensions landscape and develop metrics for ongoing assessment of these risks - some of the new KPIs being implemented will suffice for this purpose
Recommendations would be pursued to address the concerns expressed in the assessment

Principle 6: Proportionality & Consistency
Status Suggestions Remarks
Proportionality and Consistency
Broadly Implemented Proportionate in
varying the depth of on-site inspections according to assessed risks and in published sanctions framework
Availability of practical procedures that should help ensure consistency of decision making
More to be done to ensure proportionality of data collection and interventions and to document processes needed to ensure consistency
On-site inspections could be undertaken less than annually, or at least restrict annual inspections of lower risk operators in most yearsConsider whether tougher action is needed on persistently non-compliant employers and PFAs taking into account the risk they poseEstablish a corporate policy for all data collection so that consistent data can be readily accessed across PenCom
RBS would address the intensity of supervisionStiffer sanctions would be imposed on non-compliant employers The Commission has commenced the development of a supervisory application, which would allow consolidation of data returns by operators

Principle 7: Consultation & Co-operation
Status Suggestions Remarks
Pension supervisors should consult with the bodies they are overseeing and cooperate with other supervisory authorities
Fully Implemented A highly
consultative approach on regulatory and supervisory matters has been established
Information exchange and co-operation with other supervisors has been instituted where appropriate
The Commission will continue to be committed to its policy of consultation within and outside the industry

Principle 8: Confidentiality
Status Suggestions Remarks
Pension supervisors should treat confidential information appropriately
Partly Implemented Highly
consultative approach on regulatory and supervisory matters has been established
Information exchange and co-operation with other supervisors has been instituted where appropriate
A corporate policy should be in place on confidentiality including within the Staff Handbook to prevent disclosure of confidential informationPRA should be amended to specify what information is confidential and to whom it can be disclosed and in what circumstances
Staff Handbook contains confidentiality clauseAmending of PRA would be considered to include elaborate confidentiality provisions

Principle 9: Transparency
Status Suggestions Remarks
Pension supervisors should conduct their operations in a transparent manner
Broadly Implemented PenCom’s website
is attractive, easy to use and includes much of the expected information
Further transparency is provided by the Consultative Forum and a very open approach associated with on-site inspections
More could be done to explain PenCom’s strategy through the website
Publish an abridged version of the Corporate Strategy and consider a clearer presentation within the Annual Report of the Commission’s objectives and how they are being metPublish statistical information on the industry on the websiteConsider establishing special areas for employers and contributors on the website
The Commission had already concluded arrangements to start publishing quarterly statistics on the pension industry Website would be updated as recommended

Principle 10: Governance
Status Suggestions Remarks
Governance Partly Implemented Procedures for
corporate governance are in place, along with internal controls, service standards, reporting to the National Assembly and undocumented review processes
There is no written procedures on staff conduct and conflicts of interest
Informality of accountability to the President may be a longer term risk
Development of performance measures is in its infancy, while greater oversight of and precision in key service standards would be desirable
Procedures covering staff conduct and managing potential conflicts of interest should be documentedThe procedures for taking, reviewing recording and disseminating decisions within PenCom should be documentedThere should be independent review within PenCom of decisions affecting supervised entitiesProcesses for capturing information for the KPIs should be developed
All suggestions would be implemented

Composite ratings are assigned to operators based evaluation of their activities and rating of the following: the capacity and effectiveness of Board and Management robustness of ICT infrastructure and personnel controls and audits the quality of service; operational capabilities compliance with applicable laws and guidelines adherence to sound principles and good corporate
governanceComposite and component ratings are assigned based on a 1 to 5 numerical scale, where 1 is the highest rating and 5 the lowest
