The Pensionist: A pensions podcast - Episode 2 - Ready for compliance? ESOG & ORA
In this episode, we unpack what readiness really means under the Regulator's General Code. From defining and documenting an Effective System of Governance (ESOG) to planning and delivering your first Own Risk Assessment (ORA), we explore the practical steps trustees need to take now. We cover proportionality, efficiency, and the consequences of non‑compliance - so you can approach the 2026 ORA deadlines with confidence, not panic.
This discussion covers important topics, such as:
- How to measure readiness: key steps for ESOG and ORA compliance
- The legislative journey and why deadlines matter
- Practical sequencing: gap‑analysis, governance framework, ORA planning
- Tips for embedding ORA findings into “business as usual”
If you’re asking, “Are we ready?” then this episode gives you guidance.
