About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted for the White Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan under the authority of the Municipal Pension Plan Funding Standard and Recovery Act (Act 205 of 1984). The audit aimed to assess whether previous corrective actions were implemented by municipal officials and if the pension plan complied with relevant state laws and regulations. The audit covered various areas including state aid allocations, employer contributions, and retirement benefits calculations from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023. The findings revealed that, overall, the pension plan was administratively compliant, but issues persisted. Specifically, the township received state aid in excess of entitlement and provided incorrect data on Certification Form AG 385, resulting in underpayments. Officials were urged to address these repeated issues promptly. The report concluded with action steps for township officials reinforcing compliance with legal provisions and ensuring efficient management of pension funds.
