Post-employment benefit plans
Defined contribution plans
– Obligation limited to the amount of contributions paid to a fund
Defined benefit plans
– All other plans
– Recognise legal and constructive obligation
![Page 8: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Defined Contribution Schemes
• Defined contribution = contribution linked
– Recognise cost based on monthly obligation
– Actuarial and investment risk rest with employee
![Page 9: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Defined contributionplans
• Expense recognised = contribution paid and payable
• Accrue cost as service rendered
• Shortfall / excess of contribution payable over amount paid is recognised as liability / asset
• Disclose amount recognised as expense
![Page 10: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Defined Benefit Scheme
• Defined benefit = performance linked
– Recognise cost based on pension payment obligation: x% of Final Salary
– Actuarial and investment risks rest with employer
Why is the accounting for defined benefit plansmuch more complicated?
![Page 11: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Accounting complexity in
defined benefit plans
• Demographic assumptions, mainly based on past experience
e.g.:
– Mortality rates
– Rate of employee turnover, disability, early retirement
• Financial assumptions, based on market expectation
e.g.:– Discount rate and Expected Rate of Return on assets
– Future salary and benefit levels
![Page 12: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Defined benefit plans
• Defined benefit obligation determined using actuarial techniques and discounting
• Plan assets valued at fair value
• Determine past service costs, if any
• Determine actuarial gains/losses to be recognised, if any

2011 amendments to Defined Benefit Plan Accounting
• Recognition — the elimination of the option to defer the recognition of gains and losses resulting from defined benefit plans (the corridor approach).
• Presentation — the elimination of options for the presentation of gains and losses relating to those plans.
• Disclosures — the improvement of disclosure requirements that will better reflect the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks arising from those plans.

IAS 19 (Revised)
Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit liability or asset is disaggregated into the following components:
• Service cost — the additional liability that arises from employees providing service during the period.
• Net interest — the interest expense on the net defined benefit liability or interest income on the net defined benefit asset.
• Re-measurements — other changes in the value of the defined benefit obligation, such as changes in estimates and other changes in the value of plan assets.

LATEST AMENDMENT!
![Page 22: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Background
• IASB issued this amendment as a result of some concerns about the complexity of the requirements when applied to simple contributory plans.
• The IASB has amended the requirements in IAS 19 for contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service to simplify the requirements for such plans.
![Page 23: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Amendment
• If the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognise such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods of service.
![Page 24: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Amendment
• Examples of contributions that are independent of the number of years of service include:
– those that are a fixed percentage of the employee’s salary,
– a fixed amount throughout the service period or
– dependent on the employee’s age.
![Page 25: IAS 19 Employee Benefitsdownload2.wconsulting.co.za/downloads/webinars/feb/IAS 19... · 2014-01-23 · IAS 19 (Revised) Under the new requirements, the change in the net defined benefit](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042323/5f0df2ae7e708231d43cdec7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Amendment
• If the amount of the contributions is dependent on the number of years of service, an entity is required to attribute those contributions to periods of service using the same attribution method required for the gross benefit (ie either using the plan’s contribution formula or on a straight-line basis).
