IAS 19 — Classification of an insured plan
Date recorded:
Issue
The IFRIC considered whether to provide guidance relating to a particular insurance plan found in Sweden. In particular, whether the particular plan is a defined benefit or a defined contribution plan under IAS 19 and, if it was thought to be a defined benefit plan, whether it would qualify for the exemptions from defined benefit plan accounting available under IAS 19 for some multi-employer plans.
Decision not to add
August 2002
Reason
The IFRIC agreed not to require publication of an Interpretation on this issue because IAS 19 is clear that the particular plan considered is a defined benefit plan.
IFRIC reference: IAS 19
