Accountants [in the US] need to calculate corporate minimum pension liabilities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1988. The determination of minimum pension liability is dependent on whether pension plan asset fair values are exceeded by accumulated benefit obligations. The recognized liability needs to account for any existing accrued or prepaid pension costs. Liability credit matching debits are intangible assets and they cannot exceed maximum pension intangibles. Any debits that are made in excess of maximum intangibles must be placed in a contra-equity account net of tax. 3, record 1, English, - minimum%20pension%20liability
