Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)

Statement 68 Net pension liability on balance sheet instead of in the notes

Changes in calculation of long term unfunded liabilities

Differences between expected and actual investment returns on pension plan assets would have to be recognized as a pension expense over a closed 5-year period rather than being “smoothed” and then also being amortized as part of the unfunded liability.
