Sample risk register for pension schemes

The Society of Actuaries in Ireland has published a sample risk register to help pension scheme trustees and sponsoring employers, with the assistance of their actuarial advisers, to identify the various risks inherent in pension schemes and to manage these risks effectively. 



Scheme Actuaries, in particular, are encouraged to use the sample risk register to engage with their clients on the broad spectrum of risks, from financial to operational, that pension schemes face. 



Further useful guidance on how to construct and use a risk register is set out in the paper “Pension risk – Risk management for pension schemes”, which was published by a Society of Actuaries Working Party in November 2009.
