Does anyone have any good notes on pensions?  I have the exam on Sunday, and pensions is the only topic I haven't covered...it's hard for me to wrap my mind around it (plus it's my least favorite topic).  Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you could share any notes or overview of pensions.  Thanks!

If you are doing Becker then you should atleast know the computation of Net periodic pension cost using "SIRAGE"

I posted this link in another section on cpanet. This is the student companion site for an intermediate accounting book I used in college. The textbook is published by Wiley and the site includes PowerPoint slides and quiz questions to get practice. The slides have helped me tremendously because I haven't studied this stuff in over 3 years.

http://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=chapter&bcsId=2 995&itemId=0471749559&chapterId=22160

I think Pensions is Chapter 20. I hope the slides help you.

Thank you for the reference cflas.  Unfortunately, although I am able to view chapter 1, when I try to view chapter 20 it gives me "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"  Have you had these types of difficulties?

And not to worry persist, I will certainly spend some quality time with SIRAGE tonight.  I was wishing I didn't have to, but I certainly don't hate pensions enough to completely skip them and risk failing the exam!  grrrr 2 days....

Jdot, I just tried to view Chapter 20 and I had no problems. Could it be your version of Internet Explorer? IE has been having some issues with their 6.0 so you may need to upgrade. That may not be the problem though.
