Preparation of pension scheme accounts

gerard 180

Evening all,

I work in small practice doing accounts, audit and taxation. Accounts I prepare are generally for construction companies, media production companies etc etc.

I am potentially moving to a company that provides pension related services. Part of the role involves preparation of pension scheme accounts.

I am a little concerned that this will be a different kettle of fish entirely. Does anybody work in this area? If yes, can you offer any advices?

Also I might add that one of my hopes in leaving practice was to move away from the 'simply get the job done and fee out' ethos. I find this frustrating as Johnny Shortcut inevitably tends to get more appraise, whereas I take pride in my attention to detail.

Thanks.

I think you may be disappointed.

Thanks avatar. Frustrates the life outta me cutting corners and the approval and pushing of it by the top brass. When did people stop taking pride in getting a job done right :l

Actually, that part will change I imagine - I'd expect it to be more precise. However, it will still be all about getting the accounts done.
