What is this opportunity?
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) regulates auditors, accountants and actuaries and sets the UK's Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes. As the Competent Authority for audit in the UK, we set auditing and ethical standards and monitor and enforce audit quality. The FRC requires Research Services to examine how uncertainty and variability in estimated defined contribution pension income can be communicated clearly and effectively to savers. The contract will cover three work areas: • A targeted review of relevant academic and professional research. • Development of evidence-based wording, narratives, presentation formats and visualisations, informed by behavioural science. • Empirical testing with DC savers, using an appropriate balance of quantitative and qualitative methods and inclusive research design. The supplier will be expected to understand saver behaviour and key pension-planning risks, including investment, inflation and longevity risks. Deliverables will include interim outputs, communication mock-ups and a concise final report setting out the methodology, analysis, results, conclusions and limitations. The anticipated contract period is January to October 2027.
