Status of Statement No. 43
Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans


Status

Issued: April 2004

Effective Date:

The requirements of this Statement for OPEB plan reporting are effective one year prior to the effective date of the related Statement for the employer (single-employer plan) or for the largest participating employer in the plan (multiple-employer plan). The requirements of this Statement are effective in three phases based on a government's total annual revenues in the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 1999:

  • Plans in which the sole or largest employer is a phase 1 government—with annual revenues of $100 million or more—are required to implement this Statement in financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
     
  • Plans in which the sole or largest employer is a phase 2 government—with total annual revenues of $10 million or more but less than $100 million—are required to implement this Statement in financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2006.
     
  • Plans in which the sole or largest employer is a phase 3 government—with total annual revenues of less than $10 million—are required to implement this Statement in financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2007.

If comparative financial statements are presented, restatement of prior-period financial statements is required. Early implementation is encouraged.
