| description | Much attention has been paid to the FAS 106 requirement to change the accounting for retiree health care benefits from a cash to an accrual basis.

The authors report on their study to determine if the assumed trend rates have been reliable estimates of actual health care cost increases, and if the assumed trend rates have been consistent among corporations. |
