GASB 68 Notice for 2015

Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 supersedes financial reporting requirements for the State and local governmental employers under GASB Statements No. 27 and No. 50 as they relate to pensions that are provided through the State-administered retirement system. This new statement establishes standards for measuring and recognizing on each participating public employers' financial statements their allocated share of the plan's net pension liability (NPL), deferred inflows and outflows, and pension expense. Each participating public employer must begin disclosing the information required under GASB 68 in their financial statements for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2014.

The GASB 68 data for each of the State-administered defined benefit plans was developed by the pension system actuaries and audited by the independent auditing firm, KPMG LLP. These reports, compiled by KPMG, contain the information each participating employer will need to disclose in their financial statements in order to comply with GASB 68.
