Winters –
Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors
Services to Pension Schemes
With very few exceptions in the case of small schemes all pension schemes have to prepare annual audited accounts. For Trustees and sponsoring employers, sadly it is also the case that following several high profile scandals concerning pension schemes over the last few years Trustees now have to comply with much stricter rules and regulations than previously; a trend that is likely to continue. Pensions are now very much in the public domain and any hint of maladministration can earn companies affected highly damaging publicity.
Winters has a very experienced and able team that specialises in providing a wide range of valuable services to pension scheme clients.
