Pensions Act 2004: A Guide to the New Law is a practical and concise guide to the far-reaching financial and regulatory changes contained in the new legislation. The Act is the biggest reform of pensions in a decade and the changes have implications for every UK company which has sponsored its own pension arrangements.
Concentrating on the practical effects of the legislative changes rather than just the provisions themselves means it will appeal to a broad range of pensions practitioners. Each chapter of the book looks at a key area of pensions law and puts the provisions of the Act in the relevant context, for example:
*regulation and protection
*winding up and insolvency
*funding and investments
*amending pension schemes
*employment aspects
*the Pension Protection Fund.
