Assessing
Trustee Performance
The NAPF's Review of the Myners Principles identified trustee
self-assessment as one of the areas where least progress had
been made. HM Treasury has also identified it as an area for
action. This session looks at the steps trustees need to take
to effectively assess their own performance
