INTRODUCTION

 

               This report covers our financial audit of the

Department of Employment Security’s Non-shared Funds

for the year ended June 30, 2004.  A State compliance examination covering the two years ended June 30, 2005, will be performed next year.

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

 

                Our auditors stated that the financial statements

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position

of the Non-shared Funds of the Department of Employment

Security as of June 30, 2004, and the changes in financial

position thereof for the year then ended.

 

Subsequent Event

 

               Due to the depletion of the Unemployment Trust Fund in early March 2003 and the continued borrowing from the Federal Government to pay unemployment benefits, the State of Illinois, acting by and through the Department, is authorized to issue Series 2004 Bonds pursuant to Public Act 93-0634.  On July 1, 2004, bonds for $712 million were issued.
