- Progress made by providers in ensuring scheme members are enrolled in appropriate, well-governed pension schemes, which offer good value for money and low charges.
- The impact on providers, and on auto-enrolment, of the new pension flexibilities and the introduction of shared risk and collective schemes.
- Adequacy of the guidance guarantee
