Note:

This report of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commissions’ Self-Insurers Security Fund (Fund) should be read in conjunction with the FY16 financial statements of the Fund and the auditor’s report dated January 4, 2018.

In FY16, the auditors issued an adverse opinion on the Fund’s financial statements due to the Commission having an inadequate process to determine the claims liabilities of the Fund, and because the proper accounting treatment for the insolvent self-insurer security collected by the State of Illinois is not determinable due to two different irreconcilable interpretations of the Worker’s Compensation Act. Because of the adverse auditor opinion of the Fund’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016, the audit reports for the year ended prior to June 30, 2016 should not be relied upon without considering the auditor’s report dated January 4, 2018.
