On Wednesday 25 July, Aries attended a workshop put on by HM Revenue & Customs at the offices of the Association of British Insurers, One America Square, London.

The subject was Manage and Register Pension Schemes (MRPS), HMRC's replacement for the Pension Schemes Online (PSO) administration service. Within HMRC, the new service is known as Pensions Online Digital Service or "PODS". Apparently, internal guidelines

stipulate that external names for systems must include at least one active verb. They went one better, but the acronym isn't quite as good.

The topics covered in the workshop included:

• A reminder of MRPS service's current functionality
• The next steps during phase one
• An explanation of the data migration and associated data cleanse
