INTRODUCTION This
digest covers our compliance attestation examination of the Judges’
Retirement System of Illinois (System) for the year ended June 30, 2006. A
financial audit covering the year ending June 30, 2006 was issued separately.
There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our
testing. We commend the System for
maintaining effective internal controls. It should be noted that, pursuant to the Illinois Pension
Code, investments of the System are managed by the Illinois State Board of
Investment. FUNDING LEGISLATION
In June 2005, Public Act 94-0004 became
law. This legislation further
modified the funding plan of the System by reducing the amount of required
employer (State) contributions for fiscal year 2006 and 2007 that would have
otherwise been required under the previous funding legislation. The State contributions decreased
approximately $2.7 million from $32.0 million in fiscal year 2005 to $29.3
million in fiscal years 2006.
AUDITORS’ OPINION We conducted a compliance attestation
examination of the System for the year ended June 30, 2006 as required by the
Illinois State Auditing Act. _____________________________________ WILLIAM
