IRC meaning in Community ?

Answer:

What is Independent Review Committee mean?

An Independent Review Committee (IRC) is a special committee that is required to be part of the governance structure of every investment fund that is offered to the public in Canada. IRCs are currently unique to the investment fund business in Canada, as other countries have dealt with the inherent conflict of interest involved in running public investment funds in different ways. For example, in the United States of America, mutual funds have been required to have independent directors ever since 1935.

In Canada, a securities regulation called National Instrument 81-107 Independent Review Committees for Investment Funds (the Instrument) requires every public investment fund to have a fully independent body, called an Independent Review Committee, whose role is to oversee all decisions involving an actual or perceived conflict of interest faced by the fund manager in the operation of the fund. The Instrument sets out an independent oversight regime for all publicly offered investment funds that is intended to improve investment fund governance in Canada.

The International Organization of Securities Commissions defines investment fund governance as a framework for the organization and operation of investment funds that seeks to ensure that funds are organized and operated in the interests of fund investors, and not in the interests of fund insiders.

Improving fund governance has been a priority for Canadian securities regulators for several years. The process began in the 1990s with a debate over the need for independent boards for mutual funds and increased regulatory standards for fund managers. In 1999, the Canadian Securities Administrators retained Stephen Erlichman to provide a summary of the discussion on governance in Canada and abroad and to make specific recommendations to improve fund governance. His report, entitled "Making it Mutual: Aligning the Interests of Investors and Managers: Recommendations for a Mutual Fund Governance Regime in Canada," was released in June, 2000.

On March 1, 2002, the CSA released Concept Proposal 81-402 ("Striking a New Balance: A Framework for Regulating Mutual Funds and their Managers"), setting out the CSA’s vision for a renewed framework for regulating mutual funds and fund managers based on five pillars: registration of mutual fund managers (now NI 31-103), mutual fund governance, product regulation, disclosure and investor rights and regulatory presence.

After public consultation, the CSA published the Instrument in final form on July 28, 2006 and it came into force in 2007.

The manager must abide by the decision of the IRC on those matters that require its approval (subject to a manager’s overriding right to seek "exemptive relief" from its regulator). A manager must consider the recommendation of the IRC in respect of other conflict of interest matters, but may disregard the recommendation of the IRC, after such consideration

In March 2007, the CSA published an FAQ on the Instrument entitled "CSA Staff Notice FAQs on 81-107: NI - 81-107 - Independent Review Committee for Investment Funds".
