Background on the NAAIR Independent Assessment:

One of the key goals of the National Association of Investment and Development Agencies (NAAIR) is to strengthen the role of specialized organizations working with investors, facilitate the exchange of successful experience, and promote its implementation in specific territories. To achieve this goal, NAAIR developed and launched a service for conducting an Independent quality assessment of the work of specialized investor relations organizations.

The independent assessment is a broad, comprehensive diagnostic of a regional specialized organization's work aimed at verifying the efficiency and quality of services provided to investors. It is conducted against 80 performance indicators. The assessment makes it possible to analyze the organization's current activities: conduct a review of documentation, procedures, and services, and identify strengths and weaknesses by obtaining an independent external perspective.

Based on the results of the assessment, a report with recommendations is compiled, which can be used to create a roadmap for further improving the organization's operational efficiency and the quality of service for investors.
