Pensions accounting – what you need to know for your financial year-end

Overview

Watch our webinar on-demand, where our experts, Nicola Pym and Jake Smith, will discuss what you need to know ahead of your upcoming year-end pensions accounting process. 

While market volatility has been less extreme than recent years, staying informed is crucial as we approach 31 December. Bond yields have risen over the year, and inflation has now finally tipped back below the Bank of England's target, which should see further improvements to balance sheets. 

Looking longer term, as sponsors and trustees consider end game options, the accounting implications of either buy-out or a run-on strategy need careful consideration. Additional topics include the implications of the recent Virgin Media case, ongoing issues like GMP equalisation, and auditor scrutiny.

During the webinar, we covered:

• The impact of changing market conditions

• Understanding and setting appropriate assumptions

• Topical issues to be aware of to make sure you are prepared for the year-end

• Auditor insights

Who should attend this webinar? 

Whilst this webinar is largely aimed at pension scheme sponsors, given the proximity of year-end accounting, we also believe this session is likely to be of relevance to those within life and financial services firms with an interest in accounting developments.
