(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 31st March 2004, make further amendments to the Teachers' Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/280) ("the 1992 Regulations").
The amendment of regulation G1 of the 1992 Regulations removes the requirement for the Scottish Ministers to produce a set of cash accounts, as this method of accounting has been superseded by the requirement for resource based accounts.
As a result of the requirement for resource based accounts, regulations G2, G3 and Schedule 12 of the 1992 Regulations, are redundant and are therefore omitted by those Regulations.
Consequential amendments are made to regulations C11(3)(a)(i), C13(5), G4(14) of, and paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 4 to the 1992 Regulations, to remove the now redundant references to regulation G2.
