(Solved)
Afya pensioners is a funded, non-contributory defined benefit scheme that was established by the management of Afya Food processors Limited in 1950. The directors have always expensed the company’s contribution to the scheme in the period of contribution and also credited to the income statement of any period, any refunds made from the scheme during the period in question.
As a result of the above policy, material variations in costs and incomes of Afya Food Processors Limited have arisen in the past years. These worsened by any contribution holidays or redundancies of employees. In this year’s audit, the auditors. Ujuzi and Associates described the company’s pension accounting policy as “inadequate” as the resulting accounts do not give a true and fair view of pension costs to the employer. The auditors have also pointed out that current policy can be used to manipulate the company’s profit levels.
The auditors have suggested that either of two approaches (the accrued benefits or prospective benefits) be adopted the management in accounting for pension costs.
Required:
i) Do you agree with the auditors positions? Why?
ii) State and explain three reasons why there may be variations in the regular pension costs to the employer.
iii) Briefly explain the two accounting approaches suggested by the auditor. What is their effect on the pension fund?
iv) What would be the main objective of adopting an accounting standard, with respect to pension costs, for organization like Afya Food Processors Limited?
