The goal of the committee is to connect members from different regions (strategists, researchers, lawyers, product developers) to facilitate an exchange of knowledge about pension systems globally and create opportunities of discussion with each other, regulators, international organisations, and other stakeholders in the global retirement savings community. The committee also will work to identify and prioritise short- and long-term priorities for ICI Global in this area.

Global tax activities will include three co-branded meetings and monthly calls with the Tax Committee. Separate Global Tax Committee meetings in London also are envisaged. These Global Tax Committee meetings in London will be modelled after the Tax Advisory Group, which is composed of both members and outside consultants. Additional phone calls will be held as necessary.

Through both the Tax Committee and the Global Tax Committee, we will address tax issues affecting funds arising from global, regional, and national legislative and regulatory initiatives.

The Internal Audit Committee consists of senior staff from our members’ internal audit departments in the United States. [We have a separate Committee, ICI’s International Internal Audit Advisory Committee, for our members’ internal auditors outside the US. These committees frequently participate in joint sessions.] The Committee provides a forum for its members to discuss a variety of issues relating to the internal audit function, including, for example, the annual audit planning function, the changing roles and responsibility of auditors, the coordination of activities with other departments within a complex (e.g., compliance, risk), changes to controls and processes, and interactions with external auditors.
