The red-nosed reindeer spoke aloud
To throngs of Elves who gathered round.
“The time has nearly come,” he said.
“The children are asleep in bed.
Go pack the sleighs and make it fast!
We’ve lots to do – our work is vast.”
He heaved a sigh, then sat quite still
And pondered on the pensions bill.
“The dashboard should be great, in time.
The regulator’s powers to fine
Are widely drawn, and so FDs,
Administrators and trustees
Should make a plan, so that next year
They’re good to go, and need not fear
Investigations for mistake.
We don’t want that, for goodness sake!
Dust off old files, read and update.
Fill in the gaps and educate
All those who run your pension scheme.
That’s everyone who’s on the team.”
“Well, well”, he thought, “there’s lots to do.
Scheme funding is an issue, too.
Objective setting is now key
And next year we’ll have CDC.
Transfer laws will be much tighter.
Pensions crooks won’t find life brighter!
Our sleigh is ready – time to go,
To lead the passage through the snow.”
But Rudolph left a gift for you,
To help you out and see you through
Risk planning for the coming year.
A tip each day will just appear!
