 This Report Digest and the
  Full Report are also available on the worldwide web at http://www.auditor.illinois.gov | INTRODUCTION       This digest covers our
  financial audit of the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of  UNDERFUNDING OF THE SYSTEM      The actuarial accrued
  liability was valued at $73.0 billion at June 30, 2009.  The actuarial value of assets (at smoothed
  value) totaled approximately $38.0 billion at June 30, 2009.  The method for determining the actuarial
  value of assets was changed beginning with the June 30, 2009 valuation.  The method was changed from the market
  value to a smoothed value where the actuarial investment gains or losses for
  each year are recognized in equal amounts over the ensuing five-year period.           The difference between the actuarial accrued
  liability and the actuarial value of assets of $35.0 billion reflects the
  unfunded liability of the System at June 30, 2009.  The System had a funded ratio (at smoothed
  value) of 52.1% at June 30, 2009.  When
  using the market value (valuation method used June 30, 2008) the System would
  have had a funded ratio of 39.1% at June 30, 2009. AUDITORS'
  OPINION       Our auditors state the June 30, 2009
  financial statements of the System are fairly presented.
