What Do You Need To Know About OPEB?
• What is the substantive plan from the employers/employees perspective?
• Does an implicit rate subsidy exist?• Has a qualifying trust been established?• Are the actuarial assumptions reasonable?• What constitutes a contribution to the plan?• What is required to be presented in the
financial statements?
![Page 7: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Effective Dates• Staggered implementation based on a government’s phase for
implementing Statement 34• For a Phase 2 government (more than $100 million total
revenue as defined in Statement 34):– Statement 45 will be effective for the employer’s fiscal year ending
June 30, 2009– Statement 43 will be effective for a plan that includes a Phase 1
employer for the plan’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2008• Earlier implementation is encouraged• Employers may apply the measurement requirements of
Statement 45 prospectively—that is, the employer may report zero beginning net OPEB obligation as of the beginning of the year in which it implements Statement 45
![Page 8: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
OPEB Implementation Issues
![Page 9: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
OPEB Project Scope• The definition of other postemployment benefit plans and
the classification for financial reporting purposes of administrative structures that are bring used to administer OPEB or to manage the investment of assets for purposes of providing OPEB
• Application of certain parameters of Statements 43 and 45 by agent multiple-employer plans and agent employers
• The guidelines regarding use of the alternative measurement method by employers with small plans that participate in an agent multiple-employer plan.

Statement 49
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations
![Page 11: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
What Do You Need To Know About Statement 49?
• Thresholds are required to be met before the clock starts on recognition
• Measurement is based on expected cash flows• Amounts should be reasonably estimable• Some obligations will result in the recognition
of an asset• Recoveries—depend on the source
![Page 12: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Recognition Threshold
• Determine whether one of more components of a pollution remediation obligation are recognizable as a liability when . . . – Government knows or reasonably believes that a
site is polluted, and– Obligating event occurs (the criteria effectively
serve as a safe harbor)
![Page 13: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Obligating Events
a. Compelled to take remediation action because of pollution-caused imminent endangerment
b. Violate pollution-prevention permit—for example, RCRA permit
c. Named, or evidence indicates government will be named, as responsible party potential responsible party for remediation (or cost sharing)
![Page 14: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Obligating Events
d. Named, or evidence indicates government will be named, in lawsuit to participate in remediation Excludes lawsuits having no merit—within
judicial jurisdictione. Government commences, or legally obligates
self to commence Limited to portion legally required to complete
![Page 15: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Implementation Ideas
• Internal controls to ensure obligating events identified
• For example—Year-end inquiry to departments– Similar to contingent liability inquiries, but for
obligating events
![Page 16: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Recognition Overview
• Component recognition approach• Cost accumulation, not fair value• Current value, not present value• Expected cash flow technique
![Page 17: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Capitalization• Cleanup to prepare property for sale (limited to fair value)• Polluted property bought and cleaned for use (limited)• Asset impaired and cleanup restores lost service utility
(limited)• Acquire capital assets that have future alternative use. For
example, land (limited to future service utility)
For a. & b.—capitalize only if incurred within reasonable periodIf project not primarily for pollution remediation, apply above
to incremental outlays attributable to remediation.
![Page 18: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Expected Recoveries from Potential Responsible Parties and Insurance
• Reduce expense (and expenditure, if available) and . . .
• If not realized or realizable—– Net against remediation liabilities
• When realized or realizable– Increase liability and report separate recovery
assets (cash or receivable)
![Page 19: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

modified accrual financial statements• Scope exceptions: – Intangible assets acquired or created primarily for directly
obtaining income or profit– Capital leases– Goodwill from a combination transaction
![Page 24: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

(not quasi-endowment) or a permanent fund• Does not apply to lands granted by the Federal
Government in connection with a state being admitted to the United States
• Measurement attribute—fair value• Effective—periods beginning after June 15, 2008
![Page 27: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Statement 53
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments
![Page 28: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Examples of Derivatives• Interest rate swap
– Variable-rate to fixed-rate– Fixed-rate to variable-rate
• Basis swap– Exchange payments based on the changes of two variable
rates• Swaption
– Gives the purchaser of the option the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap
• Commodity swap– Reduce exposure to a commodity’s price risk
![Page 29: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Principle
• Fair value with hedge accounting– Changes in fair value of derivative are deferred for
qualifying transactions– Changes in fair value of derivative would not be deferred if
• The related asset (for example, investment) is reported at fair value
• The hedge does not meet the effective criteria
• How is that operationalized?
![Page 30: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Hedge Effectiveness
• Consistent critical terms• Quantitative techniques– Synthetic instrument– Dollar offset– Regression– Other qualifying quantitative methods
![Page 31: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Effective Date and Transition
• Effective for financial periods beginning after June 15, 2009
• Implementation guide approved by the Board at the January 2009 meeting
![Page 32: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions
Statement 54
![Page 33: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What Do You Need to Know About Statement 54?
• Fund Balance Reporting– Nonspendable– Restricted– Committed– Assigned– Unassigned
![Page 34: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What Do You Need to Know About Statement 54?
• Governmental Fund Type Definitions– Special revenue fund—used to account for and report
the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects.
– Capital projects fund—used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.
![Page 35: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Other Current Projects• Concepts Statements
– Recognition and Measurement Attributes• Deliberations began in December 2007
• Service Efforts and Accomplishments Reporting– Voluntary Guidelines—Request for Response issued in July 2008
• AICPA Omnibus– accounting guidance currently presented only in the SASs—EDs
issued in August 2008• Chapter 9 Bankruptcy • Pension Accounting and Reporting• Public and Private Partnerships• Statement 14 Reexamination
![Page 36: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Why The Conceptual Framework Is Important
• The “Map Quest” or “Google Earth” of standards• Most recent concepts statement, Elements of Financial
Statements, already has had an affect on standards– Intangible assets– Derivative instruments
• Recognition and Measurement Attributes will do the same– Governmental funds—what belongs in a fund for financial
reporting purposes– Fair value (remeasured value) versus historical cost (initial
value)
![Page 37: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Scope of the Postemployment Benefits Project
• Basic approach– Funding base with parameters– Liability driven– Something in between
• How the actuarial liability should be measured– Salary projects– Discount rate
• Plan reporting• Cost sharing allocations for employers
![Page 38: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Public\Private Partnership Proposals
• Who should report the capital in a service concession arrangement—transferor versus the operator?– The transferor determines or regulates what services the
operator is required to provide and how the operator is required to provide them with the property, to whom the operator is required to provide them, and the price ranges or rates that can be charged for services;
– The transferor is entitled to—through ownership, beneficial entitlement, or otherwise—significant residual interest in the property at the end of the arrangement.
• When should upfront payments be recognized?– Generally, over the life of the agreement.
![Page 39: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Statement 14 Reexamination
• Fiscal dependency—is it enough?• Misleading to exclude criteria for inclusion• Blending versus discrete presentation• Criteria for major component units• Fiduciary activities• Disclosures
![Page 40: California Society of Municipal Finance Officers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681697c550346895de1896e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
