The implementation of FRS 102 and the related pension scheme SORP from accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 has been challenging for pension schemes. This update will cover the key areas of change in respect of accounting and disclosure and how they have been tackled in practice.
The seminar will also reflect on the challenges faced by firms when auditing pension schemes and how they can successfully comply with the Clarity ISAs, whilst still maximising audit efficiency. In addition, we will update delegates on all recent regulatory changes and Pensions Regulator pronouncements which their clients will need to be aware of.
Course content will include:
- New UK GAAP – key changes for pension schemes and how these have been addressed
- Drafting revised disclosure notes – what went right; what went wrong
- Accounting and audit rules for small pension schemes – the need for an audit and for compliance with the SORP
