• You will require an actuary and should be working on this requirement now.
• Your auditor’s audit requirements include your financial statements and census data audit.
– The annual required contribution (ARC) calculation is being replaced by actuarial determined contributions (ADC)

• Projected investment earnings,• Actual contributions,• Benefits paid, and• Administrative expenses.
GASB 67 and GASB 68

• GASB Comment Statement 4 defines the method to derive Plan Net Position.• GASB 34 as modified by GASB 65 requires debt issuance costs to be expensed in the
period that the debt was issued instead of over the life of the issue. Losses on debt refundings are an expense but treated as deferred outflows.
• GASB 53 covers derivatives.• GASB 60 covers accounting and financial reporting for service concession
arrangements.• GASB 63 covers reporting of deferred in-flows and deferred out-flows.• GASB 65 covers determination of assets and liabilities; what qualifies as deferred in-
flows and deferred out-flows.• GASB 68 covers net pension liability allocated.• GASB 69 will cover governmental merger, transfer, and consolidate of function for
plan year ending in 2015.• GASB 70 covers non-exchange financial guarantees.• GASB 71 modifies GASB 68 to mitigate transitional reporting problems in GASB 68.

2015 – GASB 68 NPL AllocationPreliminary:
– The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Program (HIS) is deemed a pension plan for GASB reporting purposes. Program eligibility is based on insurance coverage but the
benefit is paid as a fungible dollar payment (not a direct reduction before premium payment by member).
– The discount rate will be based on Bond Buyer General Obligation 20-Bond Municipal Bond Index – 4.22% at June 30, 2014.
– The payroll basis for HIS is broader than the FRS Pension Plan payroll. For example, includes reemployed retirees without renewed membership.
– The allocation will be developed and shared similar to the liability for the FRS Pension Plan.
