- Preparation of funding actuarial valuations to help establish the rate of contribution required to fund the pension plan, including sensitivity analysis, and to provide a check on the current financial status of the plan.
- Advice on the cost and impact of proposed benefit amendments.
- Annual solvency testing.
- Preparation of actuarial funding certificates and actuarial statements as required under the Pensions Act.
- Pensions Authority funding proposal calculations.
