In this episode, we explore the requirements and expectations around the Own Risk Assessment (ORA) under the General Code, at a time when many schemes are either finalising their reports or working through their first full assessment.

Our host, Jeremy Goodwin, Head of Pensions, is joined by Charlotte Cartwright, Partner, and Nick Gannon, Policy Delivery Lead at The Pensions Regulator. Together they offer practical, real‑world guidance for trustees and governance teams preparing their ORAs and looking to meet regulatory expectations, including:

  • the purpose of an ORA
  • what good looks like in practice
  • the Regulator’s approach and what it will be looking for
