INTRODUCTION
This
digest covers our financial audit of the System for the year ended June 30,
2007. A report on the results of our
compliance attestation examination for the year ending June 30, 2007 is being
issued separately.
UNDERFUNDING OF THE SYSTEM
The
actuarial accrued liability was valued at $65,648 million at June 30,
2007. The actuarial value of assets
(at fair value) totaled approximately $41,909 million at June 30, 2007. The difference between the liability and
the assets of $23,739 million reflects the unfunded liability of the System
at June 30, 2007. The System had a
funded ratio of 63.8% at June 30, 2007.
LEGISLATION
AFFECTING THE SYSTEM
Public
Act 94-0004 became law June 1, 2005 and affected the System by modifying the
Employee Retirement Option (ERO), changing the member contribution rate and
adding new employer contributions.
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 previous funding
formula. State
contributions for fiscal year 2007 were approximately $497.6 million less
than what would have been provided under the previous funding formula. State required contributions will be
higher in future years to make up for the two-year funding reduction, as the
overall goal of 90% funding in year 2045 is unchanged.
AUDITORS' OPINION
Our auditors state the
June 30, 2007 financial statements of the System are fairly presented.
