    FRS17 Retirment Benefits

    basically the objective of FRS 17 is to ensure that the statements fairly reflect the employers retirement benefit obligations and any related funding. There are 2 ways to run a retirement scheme:- <BR><BR>defined contribution, where employer pays regular contributions to a pension scheme. The amount of pension payable at retirement is not guaranteed, it depends on how well the investments perform.<BR><BR>defined benefit scheme-the eventual pension payable is predetermined, usually a % of the final salary. impossible to say whether the contributions made will generate enough to provide for the benefits so the emplyer may be obliged to make up the shortfall.<BR><BR>
