  • Financial Reporting Alert 18-13 — Financial reporting considerations related to High Court of Justice ruling on equalization of U.K. pension benefits

    published 26 Nov 2018

    On 26 October 2018, the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom (the “High Court”) issued a ruling (the “Court Ruling”) requiring Lloyds Bank plc to equalize benefits payable to men and women under its U.K. defined benefit pension plans by amending those plans to increase the pension benefits payable to participants that accrued such benefits during the period from 1990 to 1997. The inequalities arose from statutory differences in the retirement ages and rates of accrual of benefits for men and women related to Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) benefits that are included in U.K. defined benefit pension plans. In its ruling, the High Court also provided details on acceptable alternative methods of amending plans to equalize the pension benefits. This Financial Reporting Alert addresses the Court Ruling’s accounting implications under U.S. GAAP for reporting entities that conclude that the ruling is applicable to their defined benefit pension plans. The alert also discusses considerations related to disclosures and IFRS® Standards.

While the guidance in ASC 830 has not changed significantly over the years, the application of the existing framework has continued to evolve as a result of the increasing interdependence and complexity of international economies and companies' legal structures. This Roadmap reflects guidance that is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
