The Board of the Occupational Pensions Regulatory Authority (OPRA) was established under Section 1 and Schedule 1 of the Pensions Act 1995. It was dissolved in 2004 by the Pensions Act 2004. The board was responsible for the governance of the authority, making decisions on the strategic direction and policy of the authority, and making formal determinations relating to pension schemes that may have breached the requirements of the Pensions Act 1995 or associated regulations.
The OPRA Board included the Chairman (a part-time appointment) and nine other part-time members appointed by the Secretary of State after consultation with various representative bodies. Their meetings had either strategic or judicial functions, and took the following forms:
the whole Board would meet to provide the strategic direction for OPRA's work; groups of Board members would meet to adjudicate on breaches with a view to determining whether a penalty should be applied to the trustees or employer: andgroups of Board members would meet to hear appeals against the Board's determinations in such cases. Different members hear the appeal from those who made the original determination.
The committees that reported to the Board included: Audit; Grants, Remuneration, Determinations; Information Technology; Risk Regulation.
