  • PERA did not accurately report foreign currency risks in its financial statement footnote disclosures.
  • PERA did not adequately segregate incompatible receipt duties for members’ voluntary contributions.

Audit Scope

  • We audited PERA’s basic financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
