Full Course Description

In order to encourage us all to save for our old age a system of Automatic Enrolment (Auto Enrolment for short) has been introduced by the Government. This imposes many duties on companies to set up suitable schemes and automatically enrol eligible members from a staging date. The rules are complex and there are severe penalties for non-compliance so all employers and advisors need to be aware of these rules.

The course will examine what Auto Enrolment is and why planning is crucial, the staging dates and basic structure of the regime. It will then explore the obligations of the employer, categorising employees and managing record keeping. Then it looks at the pension schemes that can be used and how this affects existing pension arrangements. The final section of the course covers an update on pension scheme accounting in respect of amendments to the SORP.
