The Gathering Storm - Impact of GASB 43 and 45
The provisions of GASB 43 and 45 require public agencies to account for non-pension post employment benefits based on an actuarial study of both current and future liabilities and when combined with the provisions of prior and existing labor contracts will exacerbate these trends. These new standards offer significant challenges to financially stressed organizations, as well as new opportunities to work with labor in creating collaborative and constructive solutions. Our seminar is designed for human resources, labor relations, finance, and related management and professionals involved in the planning and implementation of GASB 43 and 45; or who negotiate labor agreements with employee organizations; or who are responsible for determining and managing the costs of employee benefits.
