Pension Fund Risk Management Audit

An audit of Corporate Pension Funds focuses on issues that can significantly affect the asset value and return of the Fund.

The purpose of such an audit is to obtain an independent opinion on how investment policy, asset allocation, manager selection, as well as custodian, compliance, audit and operational arrangements could be improved to reduce the risk of adverse circumstances.
