INTRODUCTION This
digest covers our compliance attestation examination of the Judges’
Retirement System of Illinois (System) for the year ended June 30, 2007. A
financial audit covering the year ending June 30, 2007 was previously
released on March 4, 2008. The
financial audit report contained one finding relating to a significant
deficiency in the design of the System’s internal control. 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 will be higher in
future years to make up for the two-year funding reduction.
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT We conducted a compliance attestation
examination of the System for the year ended June 30, 2007 as required by the
Illinois State Auditing Act. The accountants’ report does not contain any
scope limitations, disclosures or other significant non-standard language. _____________________________________ WILLIAM
