INTRODUCTION

 

This digest covers our financial audit of Office of the Treasurer - The Illinois Funds for the year ended June 30, 2010. 

 

The Illinois Funds was established under the name Illinois Public Treasurers’ Investment Pool (IPTIP) in 1976 to supplement and enhance the investment opportunities available to custodians of public agency funds throughout the State of Illinois.  The management, custodianship and operation of The Illinois funds are under the supervision of the Office of the Treasurer – State of Illinois.

 

 To administer the Illinois Funds, the Treasurer has established a division entitled “The Illinois Funds Administrative Office”.  The revenues and expenditures of the Division were recorded in a fund maintained by the Treasurer entitled “The Illinois Funds Administrative Trust Fund”.

 

An investment trust fund is used to account for assets held by The Illinois Funds in a trustee capacity for public treasurers throughout the State of Illinois.  The custodian for this fund was U.S. Bank of Illinois.
