Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Pension obligations Pension obligations with regard to extra-legal pension schemes have to be recognized and properly disclosed Two main types can be discerned: defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans IAS 19 Employee Benefits specifies the accounting rules and requires extensive disclosures on pension scheme details
21.
Use with Global
Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Defined contribution plans Under a defined contribution plan, the company pays fixed contributions to a pension fund and has no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient plan assets to pay the pension benefits No special accounting rules apply - contributions payable under the plan are recognized as an expense as the employee provides services
22.
Use with Global
Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Defined benefit plans Under a defined benefit plan, the company guarantees to provide to the retired employee a pension which may, for example, be a proportion of the final salary of the employee; the employee accumulates rights to a bigger and bigger portion with each year of service IAS 19 requires an estimate of the defined benefit obligation at balance sheet date and the recognition of a pension liability, net of the fair value of the funded plan assets
23.
Use with Global
Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Defined benefit obligation The defined benefit obligation (DBO)is estimated based on a set of actuarial assumptions which encompass demographic and financial characteristics The funding rate of the pension plan affects the defined benefit liability recognized un the balance sheet, but not the DBO DB liability = DBO minus Fair value of funded plan assets
24.
Use with Global
Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Pension cost The cost of providing pension benefits should be recognized in the period in which the benefit is earned, not when it is paid The pension cost is determined as the change in the defined benefit liability for the year and charged to the income statement Pension costs details are separately disclosed in the notes to the accounts

Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Actuarial assumptions Actuarial assumptions relate to distant time horizons and significant uncertainties Future characteristics of current and former employees (and their dependents), mortality rates, rates of employee turnover and early retirement Discount rate, future salary levels, expected return on plan assets DB calculations are sensitive for these actuarial assumptions

Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Actuarial gains and losses Changes in actuarial assumptions and unexpected changes in the fair value of plan assets result in actuarial gains and losses IAS 19 provides for a ‘corridor’ of 10% of the DBO or of the fair value of the plan assets within which the actuarial gains and losses need not be immediately recognized The corridor functions as a cushion against short-term fluctuations

Financial Accounting and Reporting ISBN 1-84480-265-5 © 2005 Peter Walton and Walter Aerts Decommissioning liabilities Decommissioning liabilities arise if a company, when it purchases or constructs an asset, takes on a contractual or statutory obligation to decommission the asset or restore the asset site to certain minimum standards at the end of the asset’s life A provision is recognized as soon as the dismantling obligation exists and the provision expenses are capitalised as part of the asset’s acquisition cost
