Help with Meeting the Requirements of GASB 45 Municipal Pension plan Trustees should be aware that in addition to pension benefits retirees often receive medical benefits as well. Governmental accounting standards [GASB 45] require an actuarial valuation to calculate the accrued liability and ARC for retiree medical benefits. A simplified method is allowed for small plans under certain circumstances. Foster & Foster, Inc. has developed proprietary software to assist small plans in complying with GASB rules. They can also help you address plan design, financing and administrative issues.

Shareholder Education Website Broadridge has launched a new shareholder education website designed to provide retail shareholders with important information about the proxy voting process. The website details the proxy voting process and includes information on proxy materials, methods in which shareholders can cast their votes, and a brief history of the evolution of the proxy process – including the new Notice and Access form of proxy materials that many shareholders have begun to receive. Shareholders can also find helpful investor links, as well as a glossary of investment and proxy terms that could be important to retail shareholders as they track their investments and vote their proxies. The site also features an interactive tutorial that guides users through the proxy voting process from start to finish. The goal is to provide education and information to the investing public – and to increase awareness of, and participation in, the important proxy voting process. . © PAPERS 2006 All rights reserved. |
