39 No benefits in kind were paid, however IPSA’s Directors received the following expenses: Name Expenses reimbursed in 2011-12 Andrew McDonald £324.43 John Sills Nil Scott Woolveridge £25.00 Anne Power Bob Evans Nil Nil Notes: [1] Andrew McDonald is seconded from the Ministry of Justice. His precise salary has been published by IPSA and is currently £108,550. [2] John Sills is seconded from the Ministry of Justice. [3] The Accounting Officer is supported by a Senior Leadership Team which includes an Operations Director, a Communications Director, a Policy Director, and a Finance and Corporate Services Director. As at March 2012, one of these directors was seconded from the Civil Service, two were on fixed term contracts and one is a permanent IPSA employee. [4] IPSA does not pay bonuses on staff salaries. [5] 2011-12 remuneration includes backdated pay to the start of the individual’s contract in December 2010, inclusive of an arrears payment backdated to December 2010. Benefits in kind The monetary value of benefits in kind covers any expenditure incurred by IPSA which is treated by HM Revenue and Customs as a taxable emolument. During the period to 31 March 2012, no benefits in kind were given to the Chair, Board Members, Lay Members, CEO or Directors. Pension Liabilities Non-seconded employees of IPSA are covered by the provisions of the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme and liability rests with the Scheme, and not IPSA. Benefits are paid from the Civil Superannuation Account to which IPSA makes contributions calculated to cover accruing pension entitlement for staff employed. Details of the scheme can be found at www.civilservice-pensions.gov.uk. Cash Equivalent Transfer Values The Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) is the actuarially capitalised value of the pension scheme benefits accrued by a member at a particular point in time. The benefits valued are the member’s accrued benefits and any contingent spouse’s pension payable from the scheme. It is a payment made by a pension scheme or arrangement to secure pension benefits in another pension scheme, or arrangement when the member leaves a scheme and chooses to transfer the benefits accrued in their former scheme. The opening CETV shown in this year’s report will differ from the amount shown as the closing CETV in last year’s Report, because the factors used in the CETV calculation have been revised during this year. The pension figures shown relate to the benefits that the individual has accrued as a consequence of their total membership of the pension scheme, not just their service in a senior capacity to which disclosure applies. IPSA Annual Report and Accounts 2011-2012
40 The CETV figures, and the other pension details, include the value of any pension benefit in another scheme or arrangement which the individual has transferred to the Civil Service pension arrangements and for which the Civil Superannuation Vote has received a transfer payment commensurate to the additional pension liabilities being assumed. They also include any additional pension benefit accrued to the member as a result of their purchasing additional years of pension service in the scheme at their own cost. CETVs are calculated within the guidelines and framework prescribed by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. The real increase in CETV reflects the increase effectively funded by the employer. It does not include the increase in accrued pension due to inflation or contributions paid by the employee (including the value of any benefits transferred from another pension scheme or arrangement), and it uses common market valuation factors for the start and end of the period.
