CIPFA Pensions Network

About CPN

The CIPFA Pensions Network is an independent and unique member subscription service, which provides a range of services to support pension practitioners in their day to day jobs.

The network is dedicated to Pension Fund bodies, offering services in relation to investment, audit, accounting, administration and governance.

We seek to establish and operate the Network for promotion and sharing of good practice, discussion of topical issues and the commissioning of expert training and guidance. Service elements will include:

• Regionally based events aimed at practitioners
• Website - dedicated to pensions
• Newsletter - weekly
• TIS pensions e-book
• Documentation - CIPFA Good Governance Code for Pensions
• Knowledge and skills Framework
• Myners Guidance

Further development could include:-

• Ad hoc training - on -site or off-site
• Pensions Governance health checks
• Advisory work - for example, offering independent pensions governance experts to attend meetings

We have put together a high level and influential advisory panel made up of key stakeholders with an interest in the governance, audit, accounting, investment and administration of the pensions funds. We shall also enter into a number of partnerships with organisations who have an interest in furthering improved performance and governance of the local government pension funds. We have also recruited Neil Sellstrom as a full time adviser to the CIPFA Pensions Network.
