About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted on the Independence Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan to ensure adherence to state laws and regulations. The audit, as per the Municipal Pension Plan Funding Standard and Recovery Act (Act 205), was not held in line with U.S. Government Auditing Standards. Covering January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, the audit assessed proper determination, deposit of state aid, employer contributions, and accuracy of the actuarial report. The recommendations indicated that the pension plan complied with relevant laws and policies. The audit also highlighted that non-uniformed union employees participated in a federally overseen multi-employer pension plan, limiting the audit’s scope to local activities. Officials extended cooperation, and the audit results were shared with township and state officials, confirming the plan’s compliance in significant respects. This is an automated summary.
