Boards often review administrator performance in detail while treating depositary reporting as a compliance artifact. In our experience, a short set of targeted questions can surface useful insight into how risks are managed between formal meetings.

Consider asking how significant cash movements are identified, how breaches of investment limits are escalated, and what the depositary’s process is when delegate oversight flags a material issue. Clarity on these points helps directors discharge their duties with confidence.

We are happy to walk through our standard reporting pack with board secretaries and independent directors. The aim is transparency, not paperwork for its own sake.
