The PASA Expert Partner programme was developed to support PASA with specialists to develop standards, guidelines and technical support in their dedicated areas. Decisions on selection of expert partners are made by the PASA Board and both their suitability and relevance are reviewed annually.
Our current expert partners are:

Dashboards
Lumera is leading the Life and Pensions industry through the prudent revolution. We deliver unified policy administration environments that enable safe, continuous digital transformation.
Cybercrime & Fraud
Solving cybersecurity challenges can be a complex puzzle and dealing with one area of concern often unearths several new problems.
It can be tough to know how much energy and financial investment you should devote to cybersecurity, but you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Crowe has the industry-specific knowledge to identify what threats are most harmful to your business – because we see this a lot.

New Partners
We are currently looking for the following Expert Partners:
- DC administration
- Resourcing and Training
- Master Trusts
- End Game
- Transfers
Our Expert Partners tend to lead a relevant Working Group, often as Chair. They have to commit to creating four thought pieces a year. This could be as straightforward as an opinion piece, or as complex as a new PASA Standard. These are normally created in conjunction with the entire Working Group, to ensure breadth and depth of knowledge, as well as a thorough peer review process. PASA Guidance, Standards, Accreditation and Codes are highly respected within the industry, by the Regulator and government. As such, though there’s a commercial underpinning to this relationship, and there’s a strong governance process providing oversight into both selection of the partner and intellectual output.
