About This Audit
A compliance audit conducted by the Auditor General of Pennsylvania assessed the Butler Township Police Pension Plan’s adherence to state laws, regulations, and policies, as required by the Municipal Pension Plan Funding Standard and Recovery Act (Act 205). Conducted for 2022 and 2023, the audit checked state aid deposits, employer and employee contributions, retirement benefits, and transfer authorizations. Issues were found, including a $630 overpayment due to incorrect payroll data on Form AG 385, incorrect data provided for actuarial valuation, and an improper professional services contract. The township must return the overpaid state aid plus interest to the state. Officials agreed with the findings, and steps for corrective action were recommended to prevent future errors, ensuring accurate and compliant administration of the pension plan.
