To determine

Pension plan: This is the plan devised by corporations to pay the employees an income after their retirement, in the form of pension.

Defined contribution pension plans: In such plans, employers contribute fixed amounts annually, to the pension fund.  The benefit amounts are based on size of pension fund available at the time of retirement. There is no commitment on the part of the employers to pay fixed retirement benefits.

Facts of the case: In an audit survey by an auditor, it is observed that the employee contributions towards the defined contribution pension plans are not reported on the mutual funds statement until the completion of two months, after which the deductions are made. But $500,000 of contributions are deducted from the employee pay checks every month. When the plan was initially begun, contributions were reported immediately invested.
