About This Audit
A compliance audit was conducted for the Forward Township Police Pension Plan in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, covering January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2024. The audit aimed to assess if officials addressed previous recommendations and if the plan was managed according to state laws and regulations. It was found that all transactions and activities concerning the pension plan complied with the required legal and regulatory standards. Despite not following Government Auditing Standards, sufficient evidence was gathered to ensure a reasonable basis for conclusions. Notably, employee contributions were waived in 2021 and 2022, and compliance with Act 205 was verified, ensuring proper management, including the appropriate deposit of state aid and accurate retirement benefit calculations for retirees. The plan, established in 1977 and effective as of September 2020, adheres to local provisions and continues despite the township’s police department being disbanded. Overall, the plan is in full compliance. This is an automated summary. Please rely on the contents included in the released audit report.
