- FASB ASC 715–60: Compensation–Retirement Benefits–Defined Benefit Plans–Other Postretirement (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106) establishes accounting standards for postretirement benefits other than pensions, most notably postretirement health care benefits. Essentially, the standard requires companies to accrue compensation expense each year employees perform services, for the expected cost of providing future postretirement benefits that can be attributed to that service. Typically, companies do not prefund these costs for two reasons: (a) unlike pension liabilities, no federal law requires companies to fund nonpension postretirement benefits and (b) funding contributions, again unlike for pension liabilities, are not tax deductible. (The costs aren’t tax deductible until paid to, or on behalf of, employees.) Required: 1. As a result of being required to record the periodic postretirement expense and related liability, most companies now report lower…arrow_forwardCodification Research CaseMonat Company has grown rapidly since its founding in 2004.
