INTRODUCTION

 

      This digest covers our compliance attestation examination of the Teachers’ Retirement System (System) for the year ended June 30, 2007. A financial audit covering the year ending June 30, 2007 was issued separately. There were no report findings of noncompliance identified during our testing.

 

FUNDING LEGISLATION

 

      In June 2005, Public Act 94-0004 became law.  This legislation modified the funding plan of the System by reducing the amount of required employer (State) contributions for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 that would have otherwise been required under the previous funding legislation.  State required contributions will be higher in future years to make up for the two-year funding reduction.

 

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

 

      We conducted a compliance attestation examination of the System for the year ended June 30, 2007 as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  The accountants’ report does not contain any scope limitations, disclaimers or other significant non-standard language.
