Governance
The Board of Fair4All Finance is responsible for the governance of the company including strategy, risk management, policies and procedures, day to day operations and ensuring that its funds and resources are at all times applied in a manner that is compatible with its obligations.
Fair4All Finance is funded from the England portion of funds for financial inclusion under the Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Act 2022. This funding is distributed via the National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) under a funding agreement.
The Oversight Trust – Assets for the Common Good (The Oversight Trust) is the sole member of Fair4All Finance and a governance agreement is in place.
The Oversight Trust’s aim is to ensure that Fair4All Finance remains true to our objectives and in particular to:
- Ensure that we are well governed
- Ensure that our strategic plans are in accordance with our objects
- Review achievement of social impact
- Review transparency of financial and impact reporting
- Ensure that any proposed changes to our objects are appropriate
- Provide guidance and advice if appropriate and practicable, or as requested
The governance agreement between Fair4All Finance and The Oversight Trust sets out the key processes and powers that enable these responsibilities to be fulfilled.
Fair4All Finance reports regularly to The Oversight Trust on its financial performance, investments and impact as well as Board and senior manager appointments. The Oversight Trust is not involved in making investment decisions or other operational issues.
