Statement 158 Pension and Postretirement Accounting
   LIVE Teleconference   

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This new standard requires plan sponsors to:

 - Recognize the overfunded/underfunded status of a benefit plan on the employer’s balance sheet  - Measure a plan’s assets and obligation as of the end of the employer's fiscal year

The deadline for recognizing the funded status in the financial statements was effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006 for public companies and at the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007 for all other companies. The use of fiscal year end as the measurement date is required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2007.

The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of widely distinguished experts and industry thought leaders to help companies understand the new accounting rule. The panel will present their findings, which includes best practices, in a live two-hour teleconference
