FASB's two-phased accounting reform project for pension and other post-retirement benefits is now entering phase II, which will look at income statements and pension measurement issues from a "mark to market" perspective. While recent FASB developments suggest that this project could take some unexpected detours, what is clear is that pension investment risk will be reported differently in accounting statements. To learn about the FASB project and how plan sponsors can manage their pension risk with an eye to the future, join Mercer's July 17 web briefing at 1 PM (ET). Distribution of Retirement and Investment Consulting DB Perspectives is managed through the Client Distributions Center (CDC) and coordinated with M-Drive as part of the Mercer Client Distributions Process (MCDP). To learn more, visit the M-Drive and MCDP intranet sites. (Web Casts, 3 Jul 2008)
