OUR GASB 45 & OPEB EXPERTISE
GASB 45 & OPEB –> What is GASB 45? — What’s an OPEB? — Case Studies — FAQ’s — Resources — Our Expertise
AS YOU PREPARE to move ahead with GASB 45 accounting for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), you’ll want to work with someone who’s been there before. An advisor with the experience you need. A partner with reasonable fees. A knowledge leader.
Van Iwaarden’s unique combination of experience, lower fees, and knowledge leadership has made us the market leader for GASB 45 actuarial services.
EXPERIENCE
We’ve completed more GASB 45 valuations than anyone we know of. Our OPEB clients include statewide plans, cities, counties, school districts, airport and transit authorities, and other governmental units from around the USA. We’ve been selected as the actuarial partner for the League of Minnesota Cities.
Our consultants began working with private employers over 20 years ago on retiree health plan design and valuation – and with school districts over 10 years ago in anticipation of the GASB 45 requirements.
LOWER FEES
Our experience enables us to see issues ahead of time – and to do your work quickly and efficiently. That keeps our fees among the lowest anywhere, and our Alternative Measurement Method (AMM) fees are the lowest we’ve seen. We give you a certified AMM valuation for less than some firms charge you to do it yourself.
KNOWLEDGE LEADERSHIP
Anyone can claim knowledge leadership; we’ve built our firm on it. Our consultants are frequent speakers on retirement topics such as GASB 45 and Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) accounting. Here are recent speeches by two of our consultants, Mark Schulte and Jim van Iwaarden.

November 2009. - “OPEB Cost Control Strategies”, Self-Insurance Institute of America,
