Annual Report and Financial Statements 6
The County Pension Fund is an employer-sponsored Defined Contribution Scheme. The scheme is es-tablished under the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) Act and is registered with the Retirement Benefits Authority. The scheme’s primary purpose is to provide retirement benefits to its members, based on the contributions received from both employer and employee. The value of the ultimate ben-efits payable from the County Pension Fund depends on the amount of contributions made coupled with the investment return achieved.
Employees contribute to the Fund at a rate of 12% of their pensionable salaries while their respective employers contribute at a rate of 15% of the employees’ pensionable salaries.
The County Pension Fund was incorporated in response to Treasury Circular No. 18/2010 of November, 2010 which required all public sector retirement schemes to close Defined Benefits (DB) schemes to persons aged 45 and below and establish Defined Contribution (DC) schemes in their place. To this end, the scheme was registered by the RBA, as Laptrust Umbrella Retirement Fund Certificate No. 01305 of 27th May 2011 and started operations on 1st July, 2011. It was later, through a stakeholder consultative process renamed to County Pension Fund under certificate number 01670 of 14th June 2019.

Message From The Corporate Administrator
It is my distinct pleasure to once more present the 2019 Administrators’ report and an overview of the performance and operations of the County
Pension Fund for the year ended 31 December 2019. Since commencing our current strategy period in 2018, the scheme has and continues
to deliver sustained value for its members and stakeholders.
Domestic Economic context
In 2019, the Country’s Gross Domestic Prod-uct (GDP) is estimated to have expanded by
5.4% compared to a growth of 6.3% in 2018. According to the Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics (KNBS), the growth was spread across all sectors of the economy but was
more pronounced in service-oriented sectors. Despite most sectors recording decelerated
growths, the economy was supported by ac-celerated growths in Financial and Insurance
services (6.6%) and Real Estate activities (5.3%). Nominal GDP increased from Kshs.
8,892.1 billion in 2018 to Kshs. 9,740.4 billion in 2019.

Performance Highlights
In the year under review, the fund realized a continued growth in membership as well as the fund value.
The fund’s management has remained compliant and consistent with regulatory and market requirements, maintaining an efficient structure of the fund’s invest-ment portfolio consistent with the fund’s risk profile, regulatory and market requirements of its operating environment.
The fund’s key highlights in the year under review are:
• The Fund value for the year ended 31st December, 2019 stood at Kshs.12.10 Billion; up from Kshs. 6.87 Billion in the year ended 31st December, 2018. Net fund value position for the year ended 31st Decem-ber, 2019 for Salih, a segregated fund within the County Pension Fund, stood at Kshs. 1.7 Billion up from Kshs. 983.54 Million in the year ended 2018.
• Active membership of the Fund increased from 36,125 members in the year ended 31st December, 2018 to 43,756 as at 31st December, 2019. The Salih segregated fund membership, as at 31st December 2019 stood at 7,319 up from 6,066 in the year ended 2018.
• The County Pension Fund has 160 sponsors com-prising County Governments and Associated Or-ganizations as well as private organizations who choose to join the umbrella fund for their employ-ees’ benefits.
Timely-payout of benefits and consistently delivering outstanding returns is key to the growth and sustain-ability of the fund. To this end, the pension scheme’s operation model is tailored to contribute to both the economic and social development for all members and stakeholders. In the year under review, the fund maintained its growth trajectory with a corresponding growth in net assets and net return on investments.s.
The fund’s investment philosophy is guided by val-ue-based fundamental investment approach. As such, we place emphasis on active management, application of prudent risk control and consistency in returns. Over the years, the fund has strived to ensure that all assets
are prudently and professionally managed in order to realize optimal returns to the fund’s members without compromising compliance to the provisions of the reg-ulating authorities.
The consistent growth trajectory is therefore attribut-able to a mix of prudent investment and growth em-anating from trust earned from the scheme’s mem-bership and stakeholders. In the year ended 2019, the fund focused on the use of digital communication and marketing platforms to create awareness and enroll new entrants to the scheme. Additionally, the admin-istrator’s keen and intentional focus on the growth of non-captive business was a key contributor for the ex-ponential growth in the fund’s membership. This was backed-up by the deployment of good customer ser-vice and on-boarding practices. This is best illustrated by the fact that the administrator emerged second runners-up award in the Customer Orientation and Marketing category in the Company of the Year Awards (COYA) 2019.

Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability
A good long-term business strategy cannot be devoid of an embedded sustainability strategy. To maximize long-term value, the fund endeavours to continuously evaluate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. To this end, the County Pen-sion Fund aspires to be a socially responsible corporate entity and as such, strives to meet all legal, ethical and economic responsibilities to its members, stakeholders and society. The scheme has adopted a socially respon-sible orientation based on ESG practices.
The fund is now extending beyond traditional com-munity investment programs to more innovative ap-proaches in its operations that seek to create social impact while at the same time meeting its economic objectives. As such, we are actively adapting and de-veloping products and services to deliver positive so-cial and environmental impact. We are rising to the sustainability challenges by putting in place measures that quantitatively measure the social, environmental and economic impact of our supply chain and opera-tions.
Our aim is to produce higher standards of living and quality of life for the communities that are involved with the scheme and still maintain a good return on investments for our members. Responsible operations and practices are integral to the scheme’s philosophy and approach. We believe that managing our assets in a way that creates sustainable value not only does good for the fund’s bottom line but also protects the planet.
As a member of the United Nations Global Compact, we actively took steps in the year under review to dramati-cally reduce carbon emissions in our operating environ-ment. To this end, we installed an energy management system to manage and improve on the organization’s energy performance. This enabled the administrator to reduce operating costs by reducing the energy and car-bon footprint from its operations; and by developing a culture of continuous improvement, through monitor-ing, setting targets, training and communication.
Additionally, in the year ended 2019; we developed an energy management policy that will play a critical role in our plan to maximize profitability, strengthen our competitive position, and provide customers with the
highest quality products and energy efficient solutions.
In the same vein, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy identifies environmental conservation as one of three core pillars. In line with the CSR policy, the scheme was involved in Community support and development activities in the year under review, aimed at conserving the environment. The scheme partnered with numerous stakeholders to amalgamate efforts to-wards the conservation of water towers in Kenya. This saw the fund plan over 50,000 tree seedlings in Ma-lindi, Nakuru and Kakamega during the World Water Day celebrations. The fund, additionally, supported the ‘Feed the Hungry’ drive in Turkana that fed and granted support to over 100 families that were adversely affect-ed by drought in the year under review.
Risk Management Status
The Administrator has put in place a robust En-terprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF) de-signed to identify and manage all the risks within the agreed risk appetite thresholds, which may affect the Scheme’s operations and ability to achieve its strate-gic objectives. Management has benchmarked its ERM framework against the Committee of Sponsoring Or-ganization (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management- Inte-grated Framework and ISO 31000:2018 Risk Manage-ment Guidelines. The Board evaluates risks based on the following broad categories:
Governance & Strategy Risks – these risks may ham-per the Scheme’s ability to achieve its strategic objec-tives and eventually its ability to continue operating in the long run. These risks impact the Members and Stakeholders directly if not well managed.
Funding & Investment Risks– these risks involve the Scheme’s ability to harness resources to run its opera-tions as well as the impact of market volatility on the Scheme’s investments.
Operational & Infrastructure Risks - These risks re-late to the effectiveness and efficiency of the Schemes operations. The Schemes operational effectiveness and efficiency is a three faceted approach of people, pro-cesses and technology. A failure in any of these poses a grave risk to the Scheme’s ability to achieve its strate-gic objectives.
Message From The Corporate Administrator (continued)
Annual Report and Financial Statements 11
Message From The Corporate Administrator (continued)
Risk Management Status (continued)
Compliance & Regulatory Risks – these risks relate to possible non- adherence to laws and regulations the Scheme is subject to. The County Pension Fund is regu-lated by the Retirement Benefits Authority among oth-er regulators and has made effort to ensure it complies with all statutory and regulatory requirements.
Risk Status
During the year under review, certain challenges were experienced. However due to the mature risk manage-ment framework put in place, and the proactive nature of its management, the Scheme mitigated effectively against the major risks. The outstanding pension ob-ligation to the Scheme continues to grow as a result of delays and non-remittances of pension contribu-tions by various sponsors. This poses liquidity and in-vestment risks to the Scheme as it’s not able to invest the same in a timely manner for members benefit. The Trustees together with the Administrator are seeking for a permanent solutions through engagement with various stakeholders and policy makers.
The Scheme continues to manage risks proactively and the administrator provides quarterly risk mitigation re-ports for discussion at its Board meetings.
Statement on Compliance with Laws and Regu-lations
The Scheme is primarily regulated by the Retirement Benefits Authority. Its operations however have a bear-ing on other statutory bodies for which compliance is key; and these include the Kenya Revenue Authority and the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority. Dur-ing the year under review, the Scheme remained fully compliant with the various laws and regulations. This was achieved through an active compliance framework that ensures continuous monitoring of all compliance requirements. Compliance audits are conducted on a quarterly basis and the results shared with the Cor-porate Trustees during the quarterly board meetings. Quarterly returns as required by the various regulators were made on time.
The Scheme undertakes to remain compliant and in close communication with the various Regulators in future.
Future Outlook
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread across the globe affecting social life globally and creating shocks in the economies. In Kenya, the potential spread of the disease is likely to affect the well-being of citizens, and an increase in the number of poor and vulnerable households is imminent.
The performance of the fund will rely heavily on the country’s response to the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of the economic activities have so far been slowed down by restrictions result-ing from containment and cessation of movement in sections of the population, the nationwide curfew and stoppage of international passenger travel. The first case of Covid-19 in the country was confirmed on the 12th March 2020 and since then, the government con-tinues to implement a raft of precautionary and pre-ventives measures to counter the impact of pandemic on the population as well as socio-economic aspects.
In spite of these macro-economic factors, I remain op-timistic in our commitment to drive the fund’s ambi-tious growth objectives, with a key focus on member-ship growth in the current year. Adjusting our strategic approach appropriately, while embracing innovation, will drive the implementation of the 2018-2020 stra-tegic plan; whilst maintaining strong stakeholder ties coupled with informed resource allocation will ensure that the fund meets its strategic growth objectives.
I remain confident in our ability to deliver to promise, steered by an effective leadership team and dedicated staff who are committed to driving long term sustain-able growth.

Acknowledgements
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the fund’s sponsors and members for their consistent support and trust. In the same vein, I wish to offer my sincere appreciation to the regulator and policy makers at both levels of Gov-ernment for their collaborative spirit and support.
Finally I wish to recognize the long-standing efforts of all of the scheme’s professional service providers; including the hard working and dedicated CPF staff, whose commitment has continued to ensure the smooth running of the scheme. Thank you for lending your skills and expertise to the prosperity of the Fund over the past year.

Annual Report and Financial Statements 16
County Pension Fund is a Defined Contributions Pen-sion Scheme which was registered by the Retirement Benefits Authority on 27th May, 2011 to provide retire-ment benefits for the staff of the County Governments, Associated Organizations, and Approved Reciprocat-ing Bodies as provided under the Fund’s rules.
The County Pension Fund was established pursuant to the directive to the public sector retirement schemes under Treasury Circular No.18/2010 of November, 2010 which required all public sector retirement schemes to convert their Defined Benefits (DB) Schemes to Defined Contributions (DC) Schemes with the option of retain-ing persons with less than 5 years to attain retirement age in the Defined Benefits (DB) Schemes.
The Corporate Trustee
Natbank Trustees & Investment Services Limited, a sub-sidiary of National Bank National Bank duly registered with the Retirement Benefits Authority as corporate trustees is the appointed Corporate Trustee for County Pension Fund. Natbank Trustees & Investment Services Ltd is also licensed by the Capital Markets Authority as a Fund Manager. The Corporate Trustee is guided by the Trust Deed and Rules for the Scheme as amended from time to time and the Retirement Benefits Act and the Regulations made thereunder.
Corporate Trustee’s Responsibilities
The primary role of the Corporate Trustee is to ensure that the Fund grows exponentially and continues to prosper for the benefit of members, customers, em-ployees, sponsors and other stakeholders. The Cor-porate Trustee is responsible for policy formulation, investment of Scheme funds, Scheme administration, and payment of benefits to persons entitled to such benefits under the scheme rules, protection of the property and assets of the Scheme and performance of such other duties as may be necessary for the due and faithful performance of the Scheme’s obligations. The Corporate Trustee meets with the Scheme Administra-tor on a quarterly basis and on such other times as may be rendered necessary, to consider all matters relating to the overall control, business performance and strat-egy of the Scheme and for succession planning.
Corporate Trustee’s Independence
The Corporate Trustee has established structures and standards to enable it discharge its duties inde-pendently and free from any unlawful directions, un-due influence or any other form of compulsion. These standards are fundamentally premised on the require-ment that the Corporate Trustee should be independ-ent of the Administrator and free from any business or other relationship that could adversely interfere with their objectivity and the exercise of their independent judgment. The Corporate Trustee and the Scheme Cor-porate Administrator are mutually interdependent but their roles and responsibilities are distinct.
On the one hand, the Scheme Corporate Administra-tor takes responsibility for the effective and efficient management of the Scheme, ensures that Corporate Trustee’s meetings are convened as per the approved Annual Trustee Calendar, that the resolutions of the Corporate Trustee are implemented as guided and /or approved by the Corporate Trustee and accounts to the Corporate Trustee. On the other hand, the Corporate Trustee evaluates the performance of the Scheme Cor-porate Administrator to ensure this is in tandem with the principal objectives of the Scheme.
Information and Professional Development
The Corporate Trustee is devoted to progressively monitor and acquaint itself with key business develop-ments in order to maintain and enhance its effective-ness. From time to time the Corporate Trustee receives presentations from the Fund Managers, Custodians, Actuary and Legal Advisors on matters of significance. The corporate strategy, financial plans, including budg-ets and forecasts are regularly discussed at Corporate Trustee meetings. The Corporate Trustee is confident that it has the necessary skill, knowledge, and experi-ence to perform the functions required of a Trustee.

Report Of The Trustees (continued)
Annual Report and Financial Statements 21
Retirement Benefits Scheme Regulations require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the disposition of the Fund’s assets and liabilities as at the end of the finan-cial year and of the financial transactions of the Fund for that year. The Regulations also require the Trustees to ensure that the Fund keeps proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Fund. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Fund.
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accord-ance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the Retirement Benefits Act, and for such internal controls as the Trustees determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The Trustees accept responsibility for the annual financial statements, which have been prepared using appropri-ate accounting policies supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates, in conformity with Inter-national Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Retirement Benefits Regulations. The Trustees are of the opinion that the financial statements show a true and fair view of the financial transactions of the Fund and of the disposition of its assets and liabilities, other than liability to pay pensions and benefits falling due after the end of the year.
The Trustees also accept responsibility for:
• Designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control as they determine necessary to enable the presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
• Selecting suitable accounting policies and applying them consistently; and
• Making accounting estimates and judgments that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Having made an assessment of the Fund’s ability to meet its obligations, there is an uncertainty with regards to potential impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the future performance of the Scheme, additional details have been disclosed under note 27.
The Trustees acknowledge that the independent audit of the financial statements does not relieve them of their responsibilities.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements County Pension Fund set out on pages 25 to 50, which comprise the statement of net assets available for benefits as at 31 December 2019, the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of sig-nificant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial transactions of the Fund during the year ended 31 December 2019 and of the disposition at that date of its assets and liabilities, other than liabilities to pay retirement and other benefits falling due after the end of the year in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Retirement Benefits Act.
Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISA”). Our responsibilities un-der those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial State-ments section of this report. We are independent of the Fund in accordance with the International Ethics Stand-ards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Kenya. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
The Trustees are responsible for the other information, which comprises the Report of the Trustees as required by the Retirement Benefits Act. The other information does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Independent Auditors’ ReportTo The Members Of County Pension Fund
Annual Report and Financial Statements 23
Other Information (continued)
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Trustees for the Financial Statements
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accord-ance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Retirement Benefits Act, and for such internal controls as the Trustees determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial state-ments that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Fund or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Fund’s financial re-porting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA’s will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skep-ticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suf-ficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control.
Independent Auditors’ ReportTo The Members Of County Pension Fund (continued)
Annual Report and Financial Statements 24
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued)
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a mate-rial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclo-sures and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Fund or business activities within the Fund to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Fund’s audit. We remain responsible for our audit opinion.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in inter-nal control that we identify during our audit.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
(i) Impact of relevant new standards
Several new and revised standards and interpretations became effective during the year. The Trustees have evaluated the impact of the new standards and interpretations and none of them had a significant impact on the scheme’s financial statements.
(ii) New and amended standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective in the current year
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, various standards and interpretations were in is-sue but not yet effective. The adoption of these standards and interpretations when effective will not result in changes in the Scheme’s accounting policies or result in any material impact on the financial statements of the Scheme.
(iii) Early adoption of standards
The fund did not early adopt any new or amended standards in 2019.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The measurement basis applied is the historical cost basis, except for financial assets measured at fair value as per section ‘Financial instruments’ below. Revenue recognition
Contributions receivable are accounted for in the period in which they fall due.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Funds’ rights to receive payment as a shareholder have been established.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable unless collectability is in doubt.
Benefits payable
Benefits payable are accounted for in the period in which they fall due.
Notes To The Financial Statements
Annual Report and Financial Statements 30
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and highly liquid financial assets with original maturities of less than three months, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Fund in the management of its short-term commitments.
Financial instruments
All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IFRS 9 are required to be measured subsequently at amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.Specifically:
• debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the prin-cipal amount outstanding, are measured subsequently at amortised cost;
• debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the debt instruments, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
• all other debt investments and equity investments are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Impairment of financial assets
In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires the Fund to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial assets.
In particular, IFRS 9 requires the Fund to measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, or if the financial instrument is a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset.
However, if the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition (except for a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset), the Fund is required to measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-months ECL. IFRS 9 also requires a simplified approach for measuring the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables in certain circumstances.
Further, at end of each reporting period, the Fund reviews the carrying amounts of its financial assets to deter-mine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement of changes in net assets whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Notes To The Financial Statements (continued)
Annual Report and Financial Statements 31
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecog-nition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, and financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group, are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL.
Fair value
For financial instruments traded in an organised financial market, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices
Short term deposits
Short term deposits are classified as held to maturity and are stated at amortised cost.
Government securities
Government securities comprise treasury bills and treasury bonds, which are debt securities issued by the Gov-ernment of Kenya. Treasury bills are classified as held to maturity and are stated at amortised cost while treas-ury bonds are classified as fair value through profit or loss and are stated at fair value.
Corporate bonds
Corporate bonds are classified as fair value through profit or loss and are stated at market value as at 31 De-cember.
Equity shares
Quoted investments are classified as fair value through profit or loss and are stated at market value as at 31 December.
Off-shore investments
The off-shore investments represent pooled investments in global stock markets. These investments are clas-sified as fair value through profit or loss and are stated at market value.
Notes To The Financial Statements (continued)
Annual Report and Financial Statements 32
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Investment properties
Investment properties comprise land and buildings and parts of buildings to be held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. They are carried at fair value, determined by external independent valuers. Fair value is based on active market prices as adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, condition or location of the specific asset.
Investment properties are not subject to depreciation. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in the statement of net assets available for benefits in the year in which they arise.
On disposal of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to statement of net assets available for benefits for the year.
Members’ balances
Members’ funds comprise the accumulated net surpluses or deficits realized from dealings with members’ and surpluses or deficits from the Scheme are investing activities to the extent that they are not captured in the reserves.
Impairment of assets
The Scheme’s assets are reviewed annually at the end of each reporting period to determine expected losses and the resulting impairment loss is treated as an expense in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges.
Depreciation
Depreciation on equipment is calculated on a straight line basis to write-off the cost of the equipment over the expected useful life at the following annual rates of 50%.
Gain or loss arising on disposal of property and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in statement of changes in net assets availa-ble for benefits.
Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.
Notes To The Financial Statements (continued)
Annual Report and Financial Statements 33
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING THE SCHEME’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the process of applying the Scheme’s accounting policies, Trustees have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judg-ments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expecta-tions of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These are dealt with below:
Held -to-maturity investments
The Fund follows the guidance of IFRS 9; Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on classifying as held-to-maturity. Financial instruments are measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and the asset is not designated as FVTPL:
• the asset is held within a business model that is Held-to-Collect (HTC), and
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).
This classification requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Fund evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Fund fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances – for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity – it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value not amortised cost
Impairment losses on financial assets
At each reporting period end, the Fund reviews the carrying amounts of its financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication ex-ists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of changes in net assets whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount
Contributions income
Some sponsors statements of members contributions are not received regularly i.e. on a monthly basis as stip-ulated. The Scheme management makes an estimate of the contributions income based on the latest state-ment ever received from the sponsor.

20. MANAGEMENT OF MEMBERS’ FUNDS
The Fund maintains an efficient structure of members’ funds consistent with the Fund’s risk profile and the regulatory and market requirements of its operating environment.
The Fund’s objectives when managing members’ funds are to safeguard the Fund’s ability to continue as a go-ing concern in order to fulfill its obligations of paying retirement benefits when they fall due.
21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Fund generates revenues for the members by investing in various income generating activities. These ac-tivities expose the Fund to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk and the effects of changes in equity market prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Fund’s overall risk management pro-gramme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the investment managers and the Trustees under policies approved by the Trustees. Investment managers review the market trends and information available to evaluate the potential exposures. They then arrive at strategies to mitigate against market risks.
Market risk
Interest rate risk
The Fund’s interest bearing assets include treasury bonds and term deposits which are at variable and fixed interest rates.
At 31 December 2019, an increase/(decrease) of 1% on the interest bearing financial assets’ interest rate would have resulted in increase/(decrease) respectively in net increase in net assets of approximately Shs 21,004,838 (2018 – Shs 1,866,742).
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and receivables. As part of the credit risk management sys-tem, the investment managers and the Trustees monitor and review information on significant investments.
The amount that best represents the Fund’s exposure to credit risk as at 31 December 2019 is made up as fol-lows:

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
Liquidity risk
The Fund is required to make payments in respect of pension payments when members withdraw or retire from the Fund, and is therefore exposed to the risk of difficulty in raising funds to make such payments. It therefore invests a portion of its assets in investments that are readily convertible to cash. The investment managers monitor the Fund’s liquidity on a regular basis and the Trustees review it on a quarterly basis.
The amounts disclosed in the table below are the contracted undiscounted cash flows of the Fund’s financial liabilities.

2018Shs‘000
Other payables 22,186 84,292
The Fund’s current liabilities are all payable within a year.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The table below shows an analysis of financial instruments at fair value by level of the fair value hierarchy. The financial instruments are grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
i. Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
ii. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as a price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
iii. Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

27. EVENTS AFTER YEAR END
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared the recent global outbreak of Coro-navirus (COVID -19) a pandemic. This health hazard has resulted in significant governmental measures and caused disruption to the financial markets and global economy. At present, there is an uncertainty with re-gards to potential impact of this pandemic on the future performance of the Scheme. Pension scheme assets and related income may be impacted through devaluation of investments and expected depression of the activities in the financial markets, both locally and globally. In addition, the pandemic may put pressure on the liquidity and solvency conditions of the scheme if it persists for a lengthy period of time. The trustees are monitoring the situation but are presently unable to quantify the impact of that this matter on the affairs of the Scheme as it is still evolving.
