INTRODUCTION

This digest covers our compliance audit of the System for the year ended June 30, 2003. A financial audit covering the year ending June 30, 2003 was issued separately.

There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our audit tests. We commend the System for maintaining effective internal controls.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 7, 2003, Governor Rod Blagojevich signed House Bill 2660 into law as Public Act 93-0002. This new law authorized the state of Illinois to issue $10 billion of General Obligation Bonds for the purpose of making contributions to designated retirement systems, which included the Teachers’ Retirement System.

On July 2, 2003, the Teachers’ Retirement System received an allocation of $4,330,373,948 from the pension bond obligation proceeds. The Teachers’ Retirement System Board of Trustees approved allocating the pension obligation bond proceeds as follows: 41% to an S&P 500 Index Fund, 31% to a Daily Aggregate Bond Index Fund, 18% to a MSCI EAFE Index Fund and 10% to a Monthly Collective Small Cap Index Fund.
