About This Audit
In October 2026, a compliance audit of the Independence Township Police Pension Plan in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, was conducted under the Municipal Pension Plan Funding Standard and Recovery Act’s authority. It assessed whether previous corrective actions were implemented and if the plan adhered to state laws and policies. The audit, covering January 2024 to December 2025, found general compliance but noted a repeated error in pension benefit calculation due to inaccurate final salary reporting. The auditors urged township officials to adjust the affected retiree’s benefit and address this persistent issue promptly. This is an automated summary.
