The SPP’s response to the FRC consultation on actuarial standards for CDC Pension Schemes

The SPP supports the overall direction of proposed changes to Technical Actuarial Standard 310 (TAS 310) covering actuarial work for collective defined contribution (CDC) pensions.

However, it is important that the standards remain principles-based and proportionate, allowing actuaries to exercise professional judgement while ensuring that key issues such as cross-subsidies, assumptions and scheme sustainability are clearly communicated.
