I'm just hoping the answer isn't 'Retirement Happiness Index' or something equally made up. These accountants love to throw us curveballs!

The Asset ceiling? That's a new one to me. I better brush up on my IAS 19 knowledge before the exam.

Net present value? Really? I mean, I know that's important for calculating the plan's obligations, but it's not the final number that goes on the financial statements.

I'm pretty sure it's called the Net defined benefit liability (asset). That's the one that shows the overall position of the defined benefit plan on the balance sheet, right?
