Clean surplus relationship - Residual Income
For the residual income model:
The clean surplus relationship may not hold when items are charged directly to shareholders' equity.
Therefore, we have to adjust net income for these items if they are not expected to reverse in the future.
--> Effect of violation is that Net income is not correct but book value is correct.
Items that can bypass the income statement include:
- Foreign currency translation gains and losses that flow directly to retained earnings under the all current method.
- The minimum liability adjustment in pension accounting
- Changes in the market value of debt and equity securities classified as available for sale
All above is understood except for '- The minimum liability adjustment in pension accounting'
. What exactly do they refer to when talking about minimum liability adjustment in pension accounting?
