14

Q&A document How are pension costs determined? How is each employer’s proportionate share determined? What is the difference between the actuarial valuation performed annually for funding purposes and the valuation work performed by the actuary for pension accounting purposes? 15

Q&A document How will the implementation of GASB 68 impact contribution rates? What is the meaning of the NPL that will be reflected in participating employers’ financial statements under GASB 68? Why doesn’t pension expense calculated under GASB 68 agree with contributions remitted to the plans? 16

Q&A document Is PEBA planning to provide schedules that show an employer’s proportionate share of the net pension liability at any period other than June 30? I am an employer with a fiscal year end other than June 30 (September 30, for example). What should I expect as it relates to obtaining pension cost information that can be utilized in our initial implementation period? 17

Additional questions Did PEBA include the differences during the measurement period between the employer’s contributions and its proportionate share of all employer contributions in the calculations of pension expense and deferred outflows for plan year ending June 30, 2014? Will PEBA provide schedules to show changes, if any, in the employer’s proportion of the collective NPL between 2014 and 2015? 18

GASB 71 GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date, paragraph 3, clarifies that, at transition to GASB No. 68, governmental employers should recognize a beginning deferred outflow of resources for its pension contributions, if any, made subsequent to the measurement date of the beginning net pension liability but before the start of the governmental employer’s fiscal year. 19

Covered-employee payroll Reported in Required Supplementary Information (See paragraphs 32 in GASB 67 and 81 in GASB 68) GASB 67 and 68 define Covered-Employee Payroll as “the payroll of employees that are provided with pensions through the pension plan.” Not likely the same as earnable compensation from the Systems’ perspective GASB is aware of the difference and has it on their agenda for upcoming consideration 20

Allocation to funds Question 36 of GASB 68 Implementation Guide states “For proprietary and fiduciary funds, consideration should be given to National Council on Governmental Accounting (NCGA) Statement 1, Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Principles, paragraph 42, as amended, which requires that long-term liabilities that are directly related to, and expected to be paid from, those funds be reported in the statement of net position or statement of fiduciary net position, respectively” 21

Employer checklist Read GASB 68, GASB 71, & GASB 68 Implementation Guide to determine their impact on your entity Visit PEBA’s Employer GASB Resource Center to become familiar with information provided by PEBA Determine the appropriate measurement date for your entity (June 30, 20XX) Reconcile contributions per the Schedules of Employer Allocations (in the audit report) to contributions per your general ledger Talk with your external audit firm 22
