This session will address the auditor’s responsibilities when working with actuaries’ reports and actuarially determined obligations that comprise a component of the financial statements of a defined benefit plan.

The session will also review other common audit tests that may be utilized when working with actuarial reports.
Learning Objectives
- Apply common approaches to testing assumptions by actuaries in the calculations of benefit obligations.
