Required：

（i） Discuss the current requirements of IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’ as regards the accounting for actuarial gains and losses setting out the main criticisms of the approach taken and the advantages of immediate recognition of such gains and losses. （11 marks）

（ii） Discuss the implications of the current accounting practices in IAS 19 for dealing with the setting of discount rates for pension obligations and the expected returns on plan assets. （6 marks）

Professional marks will be awarded in part （a） for clarity and quality of discussion. （2 marks）
