About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted on the Eldred Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan for January 2021 to December 2024, as required by the Municipal Pension Plan Funding Standard and Recovery Act. The objectives were to assess corrective actions taken on previous findings and ensure compliance with state laws and regulations. The audit found the plan generally compliant but noted an issue with incorrect data on Certification Form AG 385, resulting in underpayment of state aid. Specifically, payroll was understated on the 2022 and 2025 forms by $35,581 and $23,001, leading to a total underpayment of $4,079. The audit recommended implementing internal controls to ensure accurate data reporting. Township officials acknowledged the finding, and corrective action measures were suggested to prevent future errors. The audit was not conducted following Government Auditing Standards, but evidence gathered provided a reasonable basis for its findings. Township officials cooperated fully during the process.
