GASB 68 Ultimate Goal To insure PSRS/PEERS employers had the required information to comply with GASB 68 as of June 30, 2015 and beyond. Employers with a fiscal year end of June 30 implemented GASB 68 for the year ended June 30, Process was time intensive for all parties. Value-add to PSRS/PEERS and employers. Cooperation from the employers was fantastic. Lessons learned to improve the process going forward. 3
