Independent Review Committee
Independent Review Inc. (“IRI”) assists fund managers set up their Fund’s Independent Review Committee (“IRC”) to meet the initial and ongoing obligations under National Instrument 81-107.
IRI offers corporate governance solutions and best practices to funds’ independent review committees. IRI has been the leader in this field since 2006.
