This topic will help financial statement preparers, users and auditors understand the basic requirements of these new accounting standards. It will also help you understand some important modifications to the pension plan reporting standards to help them conform with the OPEB accounting and reporting. Understanding OPEB benefit accounting is essential to evaluate the financial condition of governments that offer these benefits, and this topic will offer the tools to help make such evaluation.
