Section five – Statement of allocation of costs FSA Annual Report 2006/07 97 While adopting IAS 19 provides greater transparency of the impact of pension costs on our financial position, it introduces significant volatility into both the figures reported in our income statement and in our balance sheet. In order to prevent IAS 19 transmitting this volatility into our fee calculations, we exclude any non-cash elements of pension costs from our Annual Funding Requirement (AFR). The main non-cash item excluded is the net finance cost £1m. Our AFR is calculated to include only the cash value of the pension contributions we need to make in a year to cover the increase in the scheme’s final salary liabilities due to additional years’ service and to salary increases. Also, the AFR includes any deficit reduction contributions aimed at reducing the size of the scheme’s deficit to ensure that it can meet its obligations. This is consistent with the fact that, as mentioned above, we have not allocated the pensions liabilities to fee blocks. Full details of the calculation of the AFR for 2007/08 are included in Consolidated Policy Statement on our fee-raising arrangements and regulatory fees and levies 2007/08, including feedback on CP07/3 and ‘made rules’, published in May 2007.

Section five – Statement of allocation of costs<br />
<strong>FSA</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2006</strong>/<strong>07</strong><br />
97<br />
While adopting IAS 19 provides greater transparency of the impact of<br />
pension costs on our financial position, it introduces significant volatility into<br />
both the figures reported in our income statement and in our balance sheet.<br />
In order to prevent IAS 19 transmitting this volatility into our fee<br />
calculations, we exclude any non-cash elements of pension costs from our<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> Funding Requirement (AFR). The main non-cash item excluded is<br />
the net finance cost £1m. Our AFR is calculated to include only the cash<br />
value of the pension contributions we need to make in a year to cover the<br />
increase in the scheme’s final salary liabilities due to additional years’ service<br />
and to salary increases. Also, the AFR includes any deficit reduction<br />
contributions aimed at reducing the size of the scheme’s deficit to ensure that<br />
it can meet its obligations. This is consistent with the fact that, as mentioned<br />
above, we have not allocated the pensions liabilities to fee blocks.<br />
Full details of the calculation of the AFR for 20<strong>07</strong>/08 are included in<br />
Consolidated Policy Statement on our fee-raising arrangements and<br />
regulatory fees and levies 20<strong>07</strong>/08, including feedback on CP<strong>07</strong>/3 and ‘made<br />
rules’, published in May 20<strong>07</strong>.
