Basis of accounting
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment valuation and income recognition
The Plan provides various investment options to its participants, including common shares of Pentair, mutual funds, common/collective trusts and stable value funds. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk and overall market volatility. Market risks include global events which could impact the value of investment securities, such as a pandemic or international conflict. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Accounting guidance related to fair value measurements, which establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements (see Note 3). Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation and depreciation in the fair value of investments includes gains and losses in investments sold during the year as well as appreciation and depreciation of the investments held at year end.
Notes receivable from participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.
Contributions
Employee and employer matching contributions are recorded in the period in which the employee contributions are withheld from compensation.
Payments of benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.
