Pensions are the second largest cost for independent schools after salaries. How can school bursars, governors and other senior school leaders respond to the double impact of Covid-19 and TPS contribution increases?

In this one-hour webinar on Wednesday 7 October 2020, First Actuarial’s specialist consultants will discuss how schools can consider their options, build a business case, carry out a successful consultation exercise, and implement changes to their pension provision.

This webinar will provide an update on pension developments and new legislation. We’ll include the new implementation statement on shareholder voting, required for most pension accounts from October 2020, and the new DB funding code, expected to come into force next year.

We will discuss what these changes mean for sponsoring employers of Defined Benefit (DB) company schemes.

The webinar takes place on Tuesday 20 October from 3pm to 4pm, and features expert speakers from First Actuarial and Barnes Roffe LLP.

Our webinar will discuss some of the key issues for companies to consider as they begin to plan for their 31 December 2018 year-end pension accounting disclosures. This will include developments in assumptions, funding levels and accounting practice.

The escalating costs of pension provision make this a pressing issue for many schools. We will discuss how to carry out a change of pension strategy efficiently while taking full account of the underlying complexities.
