Pension cost accounting

Employers are accountable for every business cost, and that includes their Defined Benefit schemes

Today’s employers are accountable for every business cost, and that includes their Defined Benefit schemes. They need the right pension information at the right time, to fit in with their year-end processes.

How can First Actuarial help?

We provide high quality pension cost accounting services at a reasonable fee. We produce our calculations quickly and accurately, making sure you get the information you need, when you need it.

We deliver a bespoke service to fit individual client needs. Some clients need a no-fuss compliance service, with timely and accurate delivery for a competitive fixed fee.

Others require a fuller service with initial estimates, early delivery of preliminary results, meetings to agree assumptions, and the provision of future projections.

We can help with whatever you need.

Why choose First Actuarial?

We have a wide range of clients accounting under each of the key accounting standards – FRS102 in the UK, FAS87/158 in the US and the international IAS19.

With this breadth of experience, we can pre-empt the issues involved when changing to IAS, for example, or reporting under both a local standard and IAS via a parent company.

We have developed innovative software tools to support our accounting work:

  • Valuation Viewer helps you understand the potential impact of each assumption on actuarial calculations. That way you can focus on the assumptions that matter, and make informed decisions.
  • Firstview keeps you up to date with the year-end accounting position of your scheme, so there are no unwelcome surprises when you receive our formal report.

As a specialist provider of actuarial and administration services for Defined Benefit schemes, we can look at the bigger picture, as well as help you tackle specific problems such as balance sheet volatility or cash flow concerns.
