Recommend accounting treatment for pension obligations and restructuring costs in financial statements in accordance with relevant IFRS.

Kaase Ltd, a public limited company, operates in the technology sector in Ghana. The company has decided to restructure one of its business segments, affecting employees in two locations.

After restructuring, the present value of the defined benefit obligation in this location was GH¢8 million. Before restructuring, the value was GH¢10 million, and the fair value of plan assets was GH¢7 million, resulting in a net pension liability of GH¢3 million.

In the second location (B), all activities were discontinued, and employees will receive GH¢4 million in exchange for a pension liability of GH¢2.4 million. Kaase Ltd estimates that restructuring costs excluding pension costs will be GH¢6 million. No formal announcement has been made due to a planned rights issue. The pension liability is currently included in non-current liabilities.

Recommend the accounting treatment of the above transaction in the financial statement of Kaase Ltd, including financial statement extracts for the year ended 31 March 2021, in accordance with relevant International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
