INTRODUCTION

 

      This digest covers our compliance examination of the System for the year ended June 30, 2007.  A financial audit covering the year ended June 30, 2007 was issued separately.  There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our testing.

 

FUNDING LEGISLATION

 

      Public Act 94-0004 became law June 1, 2005 and affected the System by modifying several retirement benefit calculations for fiscal year 2006 and beyond.  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 existing funding formula.  State required contributions will be higher in future years to make up for the two-year funding reduction.

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

     

      We conducted a compliance examination of the System for the year ended June 30, 2007 as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  A financial audit covering the year ending June 30, 2007 was issued separately.
