ISSA Guidelines on Good Governance
The first part of the ISSA Guidelines on Good Governance outlines the five principles of good governance for the board and management. The second part offers practical guidance on the nine core areas of common concern to social security institutions: strategic planning; operational risk management; internal audit of operations; actuarial soundness; enforcing the prudent principle in investment management; prevention and control of corruption and fraud; service standards; human resources; and information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure.
This workshop will bring to bear the five principles of governance on the two critical areas of strategic planning and risk management.
