Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acceptable levels of actuarial gains or losses are not assumptions made in the application of actuarial funding methods. Instead, actuaries make assumptions about future events that affect the plan's finances, such as withdrawals, salary levels, and interest rates, to estimate the plan's liabilities and required contributions. Acceptable levels of gains or losses are more about risk management and tolerance levels after assumptions are applied and actual outcomes are compared to expected outcomes.
