The Actuarial Standards Board has approved changes to the Practice Specific Standards for Pension Plans (Part 3000) of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA).
The most significant changes — which originate from a review of the standards that occur every five years — relate to the discount rate, plausible adverse scenarios, hypothetical wind-up valuations and target benefit plans, according to an Aon Information Bulletin.
The changes, which are said to make it easier for plan administrators to adopt a formal glide path, come into effect Dec. 1, 2022. Early implementation is not permitted.
