INTRODUCTION
This
digest covers our financial audit of the System for the year ended June 30,
2006. A report on the results of our
compliance attestation examination for the year ending June 30, 2006 is being
issued separately.
UNDERFUNDING OF THE SYSTEM
The
actuarial accrued liability was valued at $58,997 million at June 30,
2006. The actuarial value of assets
(at fair value) totaled approximately $36,585 million at June 30, 2006. The difference between the liability and
the assets of $22,412 million reflects the unfunded liability of the System
at June 30, 2006. The System had a
funded ratio of 62.0% at June 30, 2006.
LEGISLATION
AFFECTING THE SYSTEM
Public
Act 94-0004 became law June 1, 2005 and affected the System by modifying the
Employee Retirement Option (ERO), changing the member contribution rate and
adding new employer contributions.
In addition, the Act also established specific dollar amounts to be
contributed by the State for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, as opposed to the
State contribution being calculated based on the previous funding
formula. State
required contributions will be higher in future years to make up for the
two-year funding reduction, as the overall goal of 90% funding in year 2045
is unchanged. The System has calculated the amount to
be contributed by the State for fiscal years 2007 to be approximately 50% of
what would have been contributed under the previous funding formula. State contributions for fiscal year 2007
will be reduced approximately $497.6 million.
AUDITORS' OPINION
Our auditors state the
June 30, 2006 financial statements of the System are fairly presented.
