PASA Annual Conference

If ever there was a time for pensions administration ‘The time is now’. There are a mountain of changes in store for 2024. Even without a general election which could result in a change of government, we’ve got new policy initiatives to implement with huge impacts on administration. This really is our chance to shine and demonstrate administration really is at the heart of pensions.

TPR’s blog from Cliodhna Judge in September 2023 told us how topics such as dashboards, VFM, covid and cyber leaks have put the importance of good administration at the forefront of the Regulator’s mind and described how they intend to use ‘a successful supervision approach to establish open, two-way relationships’ with administrators to ‘understand the challenges and tackle the risks’.

In the same month, Mary Stark’s Independent Review of TPR, recommended TPR and DWP work together to understand the benefits of extending TPR’s regulatory remit to cover pensions administrators. Regardless of where you stand on this subject, never before has administration been so deliberated and considered!

2024 really does look to be a pivotal year for administration. Our speakers will debate all of the above topics and more throughout the day’s sessions, and we hope you’ll join us in person to add your thoughts – either by asking questions to our speakers or by discussing your thoughts with other delegates in the PASA community. We hope to see you there for a lively and welcoming day of discussions!
