Big Picture – why?
1. Better transparency about pension costs• No more “kicking the can down the road”• Changes focus from a “funding” approach to
“earnings” approach
![Page 6: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Big Picture – why? (Continued)
2. Recognition of the entire net pension liability3. A more comprehensive measure of pension
expense4. Pension Actuaries full employment act
![Page 7: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Required Calculationsa. Net Pension Liabilityb. Pension expensec. Pension-related deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources• New Accounting Formula!• GASB Concepts Statement No. 4, GASB 63, GASB 65• Deferred outflows – positive effect on net position, but not
assets• Deferred inflows – negative effect on net position, but not
liabilities• A+DOR-L-DIR=NP
![Page 8: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What kind of plan is it?
Single employer• Benefits the employees of only one employer
Agent multiple employer• Assets are pooled for investment purposes but
legally segregated
![Page 9: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

What kind of plan is it? (Continued)
Cost-sharing, multiple employer• Participating employers pool their pension
obligations • Plan assets can be used to pay any participating
employer’s pension• Most JPA staff participate in CalPERS’ 2.0% or 2.7%
at 55 Miscellaneous pool
![Page 10: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Required Calculations–Net Pension Liability
• Total Pension Liability – Plan Net Position = Net Pension Liability
• Determined as of no earlier than sponsoring entity’s prior fiscal year end (“measurement date”)
• Approach based on a “benefits-earned” rather than a “funding-due” perspective
![Page 13: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Determining Total Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL)
Definition• The portion of the actuarial present value of
projected benefit payments that is attributed to past periods of employee service (what has been “earned”)
![Page 14: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Determining Total Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL) (Continued)
Projecting future benefit paymentsi. Timing and frequency
1. Actuarial valuation as of the measurement date, or2. Update procedures from a prior actuarial valuation
a. Valuation no more than 30 months and one day earlier
3. Actuarial valuation at least biennially
![Page 15: GASB 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a5550346895dda9343/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Determining Total Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL) (Continued)
Discount rate is the single composite rate of:• Long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments• To the extent plan investments are projected to be
sufficient to make benefit payments• Index rate for a 20-year, tax-exempt general
obligation muni bond rated AA/Aa or higher to the extent #1 is insufficient

Determining Total Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL) (Continued)
Attributing present value of projected benefit payments to past and future periods
• “Entry age actuarial cost method” should be used
