IFA fallout: All eyes look to Con Lucey for report on corporate structures and governance

As the IFA enters the unchartered waters of vacancies in its presidential and secretary general roles, any member seeking solace might look at the man charged with ensuring that something similar does not happen again.

Con Lucey, formerly the organisation’s chief economist, is likely to present a report on corporate structures and governance within the IFA at a meeting scheduled for December 15. Brought back into the fold, his report could form a blueprint for how the IFA conducts its top-level business in the future.

The root-and-branch review of salaries and expenses will look at all aspects of top-level pay and expenses, and will also make recommendations on what future contracts for the general secretary slot and other positions will look like — in terms of pay and contract length.
