The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) recently released two proposals for revised accounting and financial reporting standards related to public pension plans. These “exposure drafts” would change the way public pension plans calculate and report the costs and obligations of the plans and would require employers participating in the plans to report in their financial statements their share of the pension plan costs and obligations. Retirement Systems staff is reviewing the exposure drafts and will be prepared to provide education and guidance to its participating employers to ensure smooth implementation of the proposed standards if approved by GASB. Visit our GASB Resource Center for more information about these proposals.
