Consultations & Publications

SPP response to the FRC consultation on the Technical Actuarial Standard (TAS) for pensions

The SPP believe that the FRC have done a good job in dealing with what is an increasingly complex area. However, there are some improvements that could be made, both for clarity and to reduce the amount of work needed that wouldn’t add material value to the advice. If these changes are made, the new Technical Actuarial Standard for pensions is likely to provide strong support for practitioners carrying out actuarial work under the new DB funding regime.
