Defined benefit plan
As we said in the intro - this is “A post-employment benefit that creates a constructive obligation to the enterprise’s employees”
The SFP shows the pension fund as it stands at the year end in terms of the present value of the obligation less FV of
assets
Let’s dig a little deeper to make some sense out of this.
The idea is that the company puts money into the fund, the fund spends that money on assets.
The assets make an EXPECTED return. The company hopes this return will pay off the employees future pensions when
they leave the company.
Of course, the fund will not always exactly match the pension liability. Therefore there will either be a surplus or deficit on
the SFP
