About This Audit
The compliance audit of the North East Township Non-Uniformed Pension Plan, conducted for January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2024, assessed adherence to state laws, regulations, contracts, administrative procedures, and local ordinances. Conducted under the Municipal Pension Plan Funding Standard and Recovery Act (Act 205), the audit focused on verifying proper deposit of state aid, employer contributions, and the accuracy of retirement benefit calculations. It was determined that the Plan complied with relevant statutes except for one finding: in 2023, the township received $1,574 in excess state aid, which was not deposited into the pension plan and should be returned to the Commonwealth. Township officials are urged to implement stronger internal controls to ensure proper reconciliation of state aid with pension costs. Compliance with these recommendations will be monitored in future audits. The cooperation of township officials during the audit was noted with appreciation. This is an automated summary.
