Lawrence Park Township Non-Uniformed Employees Pension Plan – Erie County – Reduced Period Engagement – Period Ended December 31, 2024

A compliance audit was conducted on the Lawrence Park Township Non-Uniformed Employees Pension Plan to ensure adherence to state laws and regulations.  The audit revealed that all major requirements were met with one exception: an improperly calculated pension benefit resulted in overpayments. The error involved miscalculating a retiree’s final monthly average compensation by including a lump-sum payment for unused sick leave beyond the eligible period. A recommendation was made for township officials to adjust future pension benefits and reclaim improper payments while implementing better internal controls. This is an automated summary.
