CIPFA Pensions Network

Regional Groups

The Pensions Network is seeking to stimulate and support regional pensions groupd for practitioners to seek help and share ideas and experiences with their colleagues.

 

Following the recent Icelandic bank crisis which particularly affect treasury management practitioners the CLG Select Committee said:

“We recommend that the Government, CIPFA and the LGA study ways in which local authorities, particularly smaller ones, could join together to share expertise and pool treasury management resources. The sharing of information and expertise, such as identifying banks that are in the same financial group, might have lessened the failures that occurred during the Icelandic crisis.”

 

It is clear that similar benefits can be achieved for pensions officers and so the Network will continue to support these where possible.

 

We are aware of a number of existing groups and more details about these can be found below:
