The IQ Business Group has launched a new solution to help superannuation trustee boards operate more efficiently in the areas of communication and administration.
The Trustee Office Solution, which is based on Microsoft SharePoint technology, enhances communication between board members and streamlines administrative records to improve governance.
It does this by assisting with preparation of board documentation, recording board meeting items and tasks, and tracking tasks allocated to individual board members.
Each board member also has a personalised dashboard which tracks tasks, provides calendar updates and gives secure access to board and sub-committee documentation through a cloud application if desired.
The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) chief executive Fiona Reynolds said the solution directly addresses the benefits of technology for our members and their clients.
“This not only has the capacity to raise the benchmark of board administration in Australia, it reinforces that we have industry participants that are proactively reforming superannuation industry operations,” Reynolds said.
The Super Members Council has outlined a bold reform plan to boost productivity, lift retirement savings, and unlock super’s full potential.
Women beginning their careers in 2025 could retire with hundreds of thousands of dollars more in super due to the 12 per cent super guarantee rate, HESTA modelling shows.
The two funds have announced the signing of a non-binding MOU to explore a potential merger.
The board must shift its focus from managing inflation to stimulating the economy with the trimmed mean inflation figure edging closer to the 2.5 per cent target, economists have said.
