Governance

Scheme governance, management, administration, transparency, and accountability

At the national level the LGPS in England and Wales is governed by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) (formerly the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and overseen by the LGPS Advisory Board. The LGPS has to take account of guidance issued by the Pensions Regulator and Pensions Ombudsman determinations.

The investment and management of LGPS assets, the collection of employer and employee contributions, and payment of pension benefits is the responsibility of LGPS administering authorities.

DLUHC issues statutory guidance and each administering authority is required to publish a governance compliance statement and explain any non-compliance. Each administering authority is subject to an annual external audit and has to publish an audited financial statement and annual report.

The role of the Scheme Advisory Board is to help and support DLUHC and administering authorities fulfil their statutory duties and obligations. Training has been delivered to the Board on an ongoing basis at its meetings and through its professional advisers and attendance at LGPS conferences and other events.

Administering authorities

At the local level, each LGPS fund is administered by its administering authority. From 1st April 2015, under the provisions of section 5 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 and regulation 106 of the LGPS Regulations 2013 (as amended) each administering authority must establish a Local Pension Board.

To assist in the establishment of these Boards, the Board developed guidance on the creation and operation of Local Pension Boards for Administering Authorities.
