Canton Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan – Washington County – Reduced Period Engagement – Period Ended December 31, 2024

A compliance audit of the Canton Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan was conducted under Act 205 of 1984, observing necessary local and state regulations. The audit aimed to ensure corrective actions recommended in previous reports were addressed and that the pension plan complies with applicable laws and regulations. The scope covered municipal officials’ corrective actions and the plan’s administration between January 2020 and December 2024. While the audit concluded that the plan mostly adhered to the rules, it highlighted two issues: a repeated state aid entitlement excess and incorrect data resulting in state aid underpayment. Notably, the township failed to fully apply previous recommendations regarding its entitlement to state aid.  The final findings were discussed with township officials, and their responses are included, emphasizing the importance of maintaining compliance and effective internal controls.
