The calculation of the true pension deficit is not straightforward and is certainly not the one that regularly appears in the accounts. There are a number of different approaches and whichever approach you choose will give you a different pension risk perspective. What we can say, with regard to pensions, is that your company accounts, do not give a true and fair view.

Warning: This is not an accounting webinar. We will demonstrate why corporate accounts are misleading and what the real question to ask should be - Is the covenant strong enough to underwrite the risk? By listening to this webinar and understanding the integration between covenant, funding and investment, companies may better prepare themselves for inevitable storms ahead.

Who should attend?
Senior Executives of businesses that have defined benefit pension schemes.

What are the benefits:
1. To better understand your actual defined benefit (DB) pension risk
2. To be able to challenge your current pension advisors
3. To be able to ask for more relevant information and ask the right questions
4. Drive forward a better pension risk management agenda from a C suite perspective.
