Ashland Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan – Clarion County – Reduced Period Engagement – Period Ended December 31, 2025

The compliance audit of the Ashland Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan, conducted under authority from Act 205, assessed adherence to state laws, regulations, and policies from January 2021 to December 2025. The audit’s objectives were to verify corrective actions from previous reports and ensure compliance in pension plan administration. The audit revealed that township officials failed to deposit the full state aid amount into the pension plan and submitted incorrect data on certification forms, leading to state aid underpayment. Despite previous recommendations, these findings remain uncorrected. The audit recommends immediate corrective action to deposit the remaining 2020 state aid and correct interest and data reporting errors. These issues, along with recommendations for improvement, were discussed with township officials. Future compliance will continue to be monitored to prevent possible state aid withholdings. The township cooperated fully during the audit process. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
