A NASACT Training Webinar
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
2:00 - 3:50 Eastern Time
OVERVIEW
A Training Webinar
The National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT), in conjunction with the Association of Government Accountants and the Association of Local Government Auditors, is pleased to announce the latest in its series of events addressing timely issues in government auditing and financial management.
Last summer, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued new accounting and financial reporting requirements for most pension plans and most governments that provide their employees with pension benefits. The two Statements - No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, and No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions - will result in significant changes in the information reported in state and local government financial statements about pension obligations.
This webcast will focus on the key changes in employer accounting and financial reporting that will result from implementation of Statement No. 68. Topics to be discussed include the following:
•Revisions to requirements for measurement of liabilities for pension obligations, including changes to the determination of the discount rate.
•New requirements for the measurement of pension expense and deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions.
•The impact of the new requirements on information reported by governments participating in cost-sharing multiple-employer plans, including the determination of the portion of the net pension liability to be recognized by cost-sharing employers.
•The effect of special funding situations on employer reporting.
Specific attention will be provided on the impact of the financial reporting implications on governments participating in cost-sharing multiple-employer plans (e.g., local governments, school districts, etc.)
Join Robert H. Attmore, Chair, GASB, and Michelle Czerkawski, Project Manager, GASB, for this informative two-hour training session. At the conclusion of the presentation, you will be provided an opportunity to ask questions live.
