Governance laws in Barbados are based on Canadian models. Mr. Bauslaugh will share some recent developments in the law and best practices, including some keys to effective governance, such as structure, proper discharge of the duty of care, managing conflicts of interest, delegation, and policy development, including investment policy development.

SPEAKER TWO: ART BEAUCHAMP of Penad Pension Services Limited

Pension Systems Expert to Discuss the Dangers of Data Management

Mr. Beauchamp has worked in the Caribbean region and internationally implementing massive pension systems for over thirty years. He helps pension plan sponsors to address critical issues for successful implementations.

Workshop Two: Pension Systems Danger

Pension and national insurance data and contributions are collected for decades and then, if everything goes well, the pensioners receive the correct benefits when they need it most. But what happens if things don’t go so well? Complex processes and systems are required to make sure it does! This takes planning and a comprehensive blueprint to make sure the pensioners are not left out in the cold. Art Beauchamp will share valuable insights from his decades of experience helping to plan and implement successful systems.
