Ask the Tutor ACCA SBR

Defined Benefit Schemes

TTim1y ago
Dear Sirs, With reference to Example 1 under the Employment Benefits lecture, the $6m benefits paid out is deducted from the Pension Asset as well as the Pension Liability. I was wondering how the double entry works with this $6m, as there is no mentioning of this $6m as a cash outflow in the lecture? CR Asset - $6m DR Liability - $6m CR Cash - $6m?? Thanks and Regards, Tim

Journal - Dr Liability 6 Cr Asset 6 No impact on company cash (it is the pension scheme, not the company, that makes the payment)
