28.12 Actuarial valuation method
28.12.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 28.18-28.20
28.18 An entity shall use the projected unit credit method to measure its defined benefit obligation and the related expense. If defined benefits are based on future salaries, the projected unit credit method requires an entity to measure its defined benefit obligations on a basis that reflects estimated future salary increases. Additionally, the projected unit credit method requires an entity to make various actuarial assumptions in measuring the defined benefit obligation, including discount rates, employee turnover, mortality, and (for defined benefit medical plans) medical cost trend rates.
28.20 This FRS does not require an entity to engage an independent actuary to perform the comprehensive actuarial valuation needed to calculate its defined benefit obligation. Nor does it require that a comprehensive actuarial valuation must be done annually. In the periods between comprehensive actuarial valuations, if the principal actuarial assumptions have not changed significantly the defined benefit obligation can be measured by adjusting the prior period measurement for changes in employee demographics such as number of employees and salary levels.
28.12.2 OmniPro comment
28.12.2.1 The valuation method and who can perform valuation
Section 28.18 of FRS 102 is very prescriptive on the method to use when determining the actuarial valuation, in that it requires the projected unit credit method to be used to determine the defined benefit obligation and expence. This method requires future expected salary change to be reflected into the obligation and utulises employee turnover, material rates , discount rates and medical cost trends in determining the net defined benefit obligation. Section 28.20 of FRS 102 does not require a valuation to be performed by an independent actuary nor does it dictate how often it should be carried out. However, in reality an actuary will be required, in order to determine the defined benefit accounting journals each year.
28.12.2.2 Illustration of projected unit credit method
See application of the actuarial method below:
Example 13: Projected unit credit method
Company A operates a defined benefit scheme which pays a lump sum on termination of 5% of final salary for each year of service. Assume an employee joins in year 1 on a salary of CU30,000 and salaries are assumed to increase by 6% per year. Assume the discount rate is 5% and the employee will retire after 4 years.
See below the amounts to be built up as a defined benefit obligation:
Expected salary at the end of year 4 = CU30,000*(1.06^3)=CU35,730
Therefore the expected obligation at each year end at a rate of 5% of final salary is CU1,787 (CU35,730*5%)
Therefore, the service charge per year = CU1,787 as this is the amount earned for every year in employment.
*Year 1 = 1,787/((1.05)^3), Year 2 = 1,787/((1.05)^2)+ Year 3 = 1,787/((1.05)^1)+ Year 4 = 1,787
We start with year three here as we are present valuing from the end of year 1.
