Actuarial Valuations — IAS 19 Employee Benefits

What IAS 19 actually measures.

IAS 19 governs how an employer recognises the cost of employee benefits — principally end-of-service indemnities, defined benefit pension promises, and other long-term employee benefits — as a liability on the balance sheet and an expense in profit or loss, rather than only when cash is paid out. That means estimating, today, the present value of benefits employees have earned so far, using assumptions about salary growth, discount rates, turnover and mortality.
