Accountability Body
The Board of Trustees renders account for its policies and how they are implemented to the Accountability Body. The Accountability Body has the authority to render an opinion on those policies and their implementation, and on the Board’s decisions about future policies. Its opinion is published in the annual report for that year.
The Accountability Body also has the right to advise on various matters, as dictated by law. The Board seeks input from the Accountability Body for establishing the pension fund’s goals and policy assumptions, including its risk appetite.
