Background and Overview
Background• Project initiated in January 2006• Exposure draft issued June 2011• Final standard issued June 2012
3
Background and Overview (Continued)
Overview• Amends GASB 27 Accounting for Pensions by State
and Local Governmental Employers• Amends GASB 50 Pension Disclosures
4
Background and Overview (Continued)
• Implementation date Fiscal years beginning after June 15 2014 (years ending
June 30, 2015, December 31, 2015) Deferred one year from implementation dates
published in exposure draft
5
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
6
Big Picture – why? (Continued)
2. Recognition of the entire net pension liability3. A more comprehensive measure of pension
expense4. Pension Actuaries full employment act
7
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
8
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
9
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
10
What kind of plan is it? (Continued)
Calculations of Net Pension Liability, Pension Expense, and Pension-related Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources
i. Single-employer and Agent-employer Plans• 100% recognition
ii. Cost-sharing multiple employer Plans• Recognize their proportionate share
11
What kind of plan is it? (Continued)
Presentation will discuss• What is required for Single and Agent Multiple
Employer Plans• What is required for Cost-Sharing, Multiple
Employer Plans• How to prepare for the change
12
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
13
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”)
14
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
15
Determining Total Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL) (Continued)
ii. Shall include1. All benefit terms and automatic changes2. Effects of projected salary increases3. Service credits4. COLAs, etc. (automatic and ad hoc)
16
Determining Total Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL) (Continued)
Discounting projected future benefit payments to present value
17
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
18
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
19
Determining Total Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL) (Continued)
Recap – Total Pension Liability1. Project future benefits2. Discount to present value3. Attribute present value to past and future periods4. TPL = liability for benefits earned in past periods
20
Determining Plan Net Position (TPL-PNP=NPL)
• Measured at the measurement date • Same valuation methods used by the Plan
21
Determining Net Pension Liability (TPL-PNP=NPL)
Total Pension Liability – Plan Net Position
= Net Pension Liability
22
Pension Expense
• Changes in Net Pension Liability• Incremental recognition over closed periods:
Differences between expected and actual• Economic or demographic factors• Investment earnings
Changes in assumptions
23
Pension-related deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources
• Unrecognized items not yet charged to pension expense
• Contributions from the employer after measurement date but before reporting period
24
Note Disclosures
1.Description of the pension plan• Name of the plan, PERS or entity that administers,
type of plan• Descriptions of benefits and authority under which
benefit provisions are established or may be amended
25
Note Disclosures (Continued)
• Classes and number of employees in the following groups
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits
Inactive employees entitled to, but not yet receiving, benefits
Active employees• Contribution requirements• Whether the plan issues a stand-alone financial report
and how to obtain it
26
Note Disclosures (Continued)
2. Assumptions used to measure total pension liability• Detailed disclosures about the discount rate
27
Note Disclosures (Continued)
3. The pension Plan’s fiduciary net position• Can refer to Plan’s report• Plan’s basis of accounting
4. Brief description of change in benefit terms and assumptions that affect measurement of the total pension liability since prior measurement date
28
Note Disclosures (Continued)
5. Measurement date, date of the actuarial valuation on which the recognized information is based and whether based on the use of update procedures to roll forward measurements• Nature of any significant changes impacting net
pension liability after measurement date• Amount of pension expense recognized in the
period
29
Note Disclosures (Continued)
6. Employer’s policy for determining actual contributions to the plan
7. If not separately disclosed in the financial statements, disclose aggregate:a. Net pension liabilitiesb. Deferred pension outflows of resourcesc. Deferred pension inflows of resourcesd. Pension expense for the period
30
Note Disclosures (Continued)
• Components of deferred pension inflows and outflows, with up to five elements of applicable categories
• Schedule of anticipated recognition of pension expense of deferred outflows/inflows for the next five years.
31
Note Disclosures (Continued)
Additional disclosures for each Single-Employer or Agent Multiple-Employer Plan
• Detail of changes in a schedule of changes in net pension liability• Broken out by TPL, PNP, and NPL – 12 elements
32
Note Disclosures (Continued)
Additional disclosures for Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Plans

33
Note Disclosures (Continued)

35
Required Supplementary Information (Continued)
d. Notes to required schedulesi. Information about factors that significantly affect
the identification of trends in the amounts reportedii. Significant methods and assumptions used in
determining actuarially calculated employer contributions
36
Considerations for Cost-Sharingmultiple- employer plans
Recognition of proportionate share of collective net pension liability, collective pension expense, collective deferred inflows and outflows of resources related to pensions
37
Considerations for Cost-Sharingmultiple- employer plans (Continued)
Proportion is calculated based on the employer’s projected long-term contributions effort as compared to the total of all projected contributions of the employers
38
Considerations for Cost-Sharingmultiple-employer plans (Continued)
Calculation of Collective Net Pension Liability• Collective Net Pension Liability = Collective Total
Pension Liability – Plan Net Position
39
Considerations for Cost-Sharingmultiple- employer plans (Continued)
Collective deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions and collective pension expense
• Changes in collective net pension liability should be included in measures of collective deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pension under the same guidelines as single-employer and agent plans
• Changes in plan net position should be included in measures of collective deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pension under the same guidelines as single-employer and agent plans
40
Considerations for Cost-Sharingmultiple- employer plans (Continued)
Accounting for a change in proportion• Recognized in pension expense over a closed period
41
Effective date and transition
• Effective for financial statement periods beginning after June 15, 2014
• Earlier application is encouraged
42
What Should I Do Now???
• Know the overview of changes• Familiarize yourself with your plan• Enlist the help of CalPERS• Begin educating stakeholders
(Management, Board, Pool Members)
