Governance manual

Our governance manual sets out the structures, processes, and principles that underpin the way in which the IFoA operates, makes its decisions, and achieves its objectives.

It also helps provide a solid framework for establishing our responsibility to our stakeholders, recognising not only the interests of our members but also those of many other parties. These include our employees, independent regulators, the government, the users of actuarial advice, and the general public affected by that advice.

The manual covers: 

  • governance framework
  • finance and operations
  • volunteering
  • conflicts
  • monitoring and updating

This version of the governance manual reflects updates approved up until 1 April 2024.
