KembaraXtra- Financial Terms- accrued benefits refer to benefits earned under a defined-benefit pension scheme based on an employee’s service up to a particular point in time.


These benefits represent the pension rights accumulated by employees during their period of employment. The value of the benefits increases as service continues.


Accrued benefits may be calculated using current earnings or protected final earnings, depending on the rules of the pension scheme.


Accounting standards such as Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 24 and Financial Reporting Standard 17 established rules for recording pension costs in financial accounts.


Since January 2005, listed companies have also been required to comply with International Accounting Standard 19, Employee Benefits, which provides international guidance on pension accounting and employee benefit reporting.
