The additional rates are calculated using the same discount curve and methodology as the standard rates but with shorter liabilities (As of January 2017, the Weighted Average Lives, or “WALs,” were 21.9 years and 16.8 years compared to the standard rate's WAL of 26.9 years.)

Now, suppose that the plansponsor changes the asset allocation to a 60% stock – 40% bond portfolio and uses an expected return on assets assumption of 8%. Published on: 01 Nov 2019 This publication highlights some of the important accounting considerations related to the calculations and disclosures entities provide under U.S. GAAP 1 in connection with their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Many of these considerations have been included in prior Financial Reporting Alerts and are summarized below. KPMG’s Pensions Accounting Survey 2019 looks at trends in best-estimate assumptions based on 212 of KPMG’s clients with UK Defined Benefit (DB) pension schemes reporting under IFRS, UK GAAP or US GAAP at 31 December 2018. Our data sample spans the whole market, including clients who are advised by all the leading consultancies. The average discount rate has declined from 4.7% to 3.4% since 2011. Discount rates have been volatile due to rule changes. Congress passed a law in 2012 that allowed companies to use a 25-year The Coming GAAP Gap for Pensions (A lower number will result in higher liabilities and pension expense, because the discount rate is an exponential divisor for converting future costs into
In September 2015, the SEC staff met with representatives of the Big Four accounting firms and expressed its views on applying an alternative approach for using discount rates to measure the components of net periodic benefit cost for a defined benefit retirement plan obligation (e.g., a pension or other postretirement obligation) under ASC 715.
Effective July 31, 2019 the discount rate for pension obligations according to IFRS/US-GAAP is 0.84 % p.a. for a typical mixed portfolio consisting of members entitled to future benefits and retirees. pension and OPEB discount rates using cash flows from any particular pension or OPEB projected benefit payment schedule. The Ryan ALM cash flow matching pricing model can be used at any calendar month end measurement date to develop the ASC 715 discount rate for a benefit obligation of any size or duration. Thus, if a pension plan has a duration of 15, a one percentage point decrease in the discount rate (from 6% to 5 %, for example) would be expected to increase the value of the benefit obligation by approximately 15%. The statement does not specify which assumptions are significant, though I’ve seen the following: +/-1% change in the discount rate, +/-0.5% change in compensation increases, and +1 year change in life expectancy. In summary, the actuarial calculations to determine the present value of benefits will generally be the same under ASC 715 and IAS 19.
As a part of research on present value measurement – discount rates we have government bonds for measurement of defined benefit liabilities, pension tax not financing items, partly to improve comparability with US GAAP financial.
Most public pension plans use a discount rate between 7 percent and 8 percent (the average is 7.6 percent). Why does all this matter? Because some anti-pension ideologues have started attacking the discount rate used by public pension plans as a way to attack pensions. Chief among them is Stanford economist Josh Rauh. The additional rates are calculated using the same discount curve and methodology as the standard rates but with shorter liabilities (As of January 2017, the Weighted Average Lives, or “WALs,” were 21.9 years and 16.8 years compared to the standard rate's WAL of 26.9 years.)
