LCP Radar Update: Pensions Authority publishes information on the annual compliance statement
Pensions & benefits2nd September 2021 - The Pensions Authority has published information for trustees on the annual compliance statement, a new requirement under the Pensions Act, 1990.
The Act now requires trustees to prepare an annual compliance statement (ACS) not later than 31 January each year. The statement must be certified for accuracy and completeness by at least two trustees (or two directors, if for a trustee company).
The form of the 2021 statement will be published in November 2021 and the Pensions Authority has said that it expects trustees to prepare the 2021 statement by 31 January 2022. Trustees will, however, not be required to submit the 2021 statement, but make it available to the Authority on request.
In 2023, trustees will be required to submit the 2022 statement by the end of February 2023. Trustees will be provided with further details on how to make their 2022 ACS submission during 2022.
