The new CEO, Linda Wrong, while reviewing the previous three years financial statements with the Controller, Trevor Phill, had some concerns. Given that Xerox Corporations work force has been stable for the last 6 years, Linda could not understand the increase in the net periodic pension expense between 2016 and 2017.
