  18. North Dakota PERS GASB Statements 67 and 68 Moody’s Proposed Pension Adjustments Changes to Pension Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards for Employers and Pension Plans

  19. GASB Statements 67 and 68 Governmental Accounting Standards Board Financial Reporting Focus • GASB establishes accounting and financial reporting, not funding policies • Focus is on pension obligation, changes in obligation, and attribution of expense Long-Term Nature of Governments • Cost of services to long-term operation • “Interperiod equity” matches current period resources and costs Employer-Employee Exchange • Employer incurs an obligation to its employees for pension benefits • Transaction is in context of a career-long relationship

  20. GASB Statements 67 and 68 GASB Statement 67: Financial Reporting for Pension Plans (revises GASB Statement No. 25) GASB Statement 68: Employer Accounting & Financial Reporting for Pensions (revises GASB Statement No. 27) • Effective dates • For plan reporting: effective for all plan years beginning after June 15, 2013 • Years beginning July 1, 2013 or January 1, 2014 • For employer reporting: effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2014 • Years beginning July 1, 2014 or January 1, 2015 • GASB “Implementation Guide” • Will address outstanding technical issues in accordance with final Statements

  21. Cost-Sharing Plans New GASB 67/68 standards • Recognize “proportionate share” of collective Net Pension Liability and pension expense • Proportionate share determination • Should be consistent with the way required contributions are determined • Use of the projected long-term contribution effort of the employers is encouraged • If different contribution rates are assessed for different groups the allocation should reflect these relationships • For example: different rates calculated within a single fund for different classes or tiers of employees • This share of liability is allocated regardless of the terms of liability assignment in the employer/employee contribution agreement Employers in “pooled” plans will now have a portion of the NPL assigned to their balance sheet.

  22. Net Pension Liability • NPL is calculated using: • Projected future benefits • Includes projected future service and salary increases • Includes the cost of ad hoc COLAs if “substantially automatic” • A new blended discount rate • Determined using projections of contributions and benefit payments • “Entry age” actuarial cost method • Most commonly used method • Market value of assets • AKA “Fiduciary Net Position” • No actuarial smoothing Accounting NPL will be more volatile than the current unfunded accrued liability (which will still be used for funding).

  23. Key Implications • The faster recognition of net pension liability changes will introduce much greater volatility in the reported expense. • This volatility will be reflected directly on the income statements of plan sponsors. • The new expense amount will most likely be too volatile to serve as a funding policy for most entities By applying the new standards, GASB is effectively decoupling plan funding and plan expense.

  32. 2013 Session Recovery Plan (last half)

  33. House Bill 1452 • Increased contributions by 1% for the employer and 1% for the employee

  34. 2013 Session Recovery Plan (last half) 2014 increase approved not 2015

  35. 2013 Session Recovery Plan also a DC option for State Employees

  36. House Bill 1452 • Increased contributions by 1% for the employer and 1% for the employee • Added a DC option for state employees until 2017

  37. DC Plan Challenge

  38. 2013 Session Recovery Plan also a DC option for State Employees Above assumes DC option is permenant, as passed it is only till the middle of 2017 consequently cost would be closer to blue. If permanent then additional cost would be as shown above.

  39. Going Forward • Additional contribution increases will likely be needed in the future

  40. Going Forward • Additional contribution increases will be needed in the future • DC plan costs will need to be added if continued

  41. Going Forward • Additional contribution increases will be needed in the future • DC plan costs will need to be added if continued • Effect on political subdivisions will need to be considered and adjustments made if needed
