Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued) <br />The Board considered the effective dates for the requirements of this Statement in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in <br />concert with Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. <br />How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting <br />The requirements of this Statement will result in more consistent financial reporting of defined contribution pension plans, <br />defined contribution OPEB plans, and other employee benefit plans, while mitigating the costs associated with reporting <br />those plans. The requirements also will enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of (1) the information <br />related to Section 457 plans that meet the definition of a pension plan and the benefits provided through those plans and <br />(2) investment information for all Section 457 plans. <br />(1) <br />Note.
