REPORT OF EXAMINATION OF THE CONTRIBUTORY RETIREMENT SYSTEM SAUGUS, MASSACHUSETTS


Hon. Charles F. J. Harrington Commissioner of Insurance


Boston, Massachusetts


Sir:


In compliance with instructions, the regular triennial examination of the condition and affairs of the Town of Saugus Contributory Retire- ment System has been completed. A report, showing the income and disbursements for the year, also the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1941, is submitted herewith.


HISTORY


The system began to function on July 1, 1937, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 318 of the Acts of 1936 and is now operating under Chapter 32 of the General Laws.


INCOME


Members' Deductions


Deductions were made by the treasurer of the system in accordance with statute. A test check was made from original payrolls to the war- rant book for a sufficient period to determine the accuracy of postings. The warrant book contained the total deductions by departments and by weeks in which the deductions were made. Postings from the warrant book to the cash book were carried to the cash book for the entire year. A test check was also made of various periods since the last examination.


Contributions by the Town


The annual amounts necessary as contributions to the pension ac- cumulation fund to provide for the accrued and normal liabilities of the system were paid in the amounts prescribed by the Department. Con- tributions were also made for guaranteed interest of the funds over earned interest during the preceding year and for administrative expenses of the system.


Investment Income


Interest received from bonds was checked and it was found that all due interest had been collected. Dividends from a savings bank deposit was also received.


DISBURSEMENTS


Annuity and Pension Payments


Payments to pensioners were checked from pension payrolls to cancelled checks and thence to cash book. All payments were in agree- ment with the amounts authorized by the Department.


Refunds


Applications for return of accumulated deductions were received from several members leaving the service of the town. Cancelled checks and vouchers were examined and the amounts drawn were in agreement

with the credits shown on members' deduction cards. All payments were allocated to the proper accounts in the cash book.


Administrative Expenses


Expenses of administering the system consisted of the usual neces- sary items. Vouchers drawn in payment of all expenses were signed by the required members of the board. Cancelled checks were seen and checked to the accounting records. Payments for bonds of the three members of the board and for safe deposit box rental were included among these disbursements.


Decrease in Bonds


Some of the bonds owned were purchased at a premium and it was necessary to make an adjustment so that the book value and amortized value would coincide.


LEDGER ASSETS


Bonds


Bonds are carried on the books at their amortized values and all adjustments have been correctly made to date. The bonds are kept in a safe deposit vault in Boston and entry to the box is in the sole control of the treasurer. The book value as of date of entry was proved and the balance as of December 31, 1941, was verified by checking all transactions during the intervening period.


Cash


The cash balance on date of entry was reconciled with the statement received from the depository and the usual bank certificate. The balance as of date of examination was verified by checking all cash transactions between the two dates.


Savings Deposits


There was a deposit in a savings bank as of December 31, 1941, as shown by the pass book but this account was closed in July, 1942, and the proceeds were used to purchase defense bonds.


NON-LEDGER ASSETS


Interest Deficiency


The total interest earned during the year was not sufficient to credit the funds with statutory interest and it was necessary to request the amount of the deficiency from the town. Accrued interest on bonds as of December 31, 1941, should have been added to the interest received during the year to arrive at the correct interest deficiency. This amount was not taken into consideration when the request for the deficiency was made to the town. It is recommended that any interest due or accrued at the end of the year be taken into consideration when requesting sub- sequent deficiencies.


LIABILITIES


Annuity Savings Fund


The balance in this fund has accumulated from deductions made from members' salaries by the treasurer of the system. A trial balance was taken off from members' cards, the total of which differed from the ledger balance. This necessitated a detailed check on income from deductions since the last examination in addition to all interest credited. Errors were detected and a journal entry in the amount of 20c was given to the accountant and as a result the total of the cards and the balance as shown by the ledger were brought into agreement as of the examination date. All refunds and retirements have been correctly charged to this fund and statutory interest has been credited to date.

Annuity Reserve Fund


This fund is credited with the amount of accumulated deductions and interest to date of retirement. Annuities paid are charged to the fund at the close of the year. Transfers from the annuity savings fund have been correctly made and statutory interest has been credited.


Pension Accumulation Fund


The pension accumulation fund balance has been verified from an accounting and examination standpoint. This fund as of the examination date consists of contributions made by the governmental unit on the basis of accrued and normal contributions determined by the Actuarial Division of this Department. The fund is used as an amortization basis for dis- charge of the liability created by crediting prior service. The present amounts contained in this fund represent the accrued portion of the lia- bility on which the unit has already paid contributions. Under the law, accumulations to this fund are provided for until the reserve is the equiva- lent of the present value of such service actuarially computed. This value will not be arrived at for some years to come.


The contributions made have been estimated on the basis of general experience with retirement funds until a complete actuarial valuation of the fund has been made as provided for in Section 31F, Chapter 32.


The reserves contained in this fund have not yet been established on a complete actuarial valuation. The law prescribes a period of three years in which accumulation and verification of the necessary data is made. When the necessary valuation functions have been determined, a complete valuation of this and the other funds will be available.


Expense Fund


The annual contributions by the town have been in excess of the amounts expended for administrative expenses leaving the balance shown.


RECORDS


The record book containing the minutes of the meetings of the re- tirement board were read and, with but a few exceptions, it was found to contain the necessary votes and authorizations. In a few instances, such as approving purchases of securities, the record book contained only the amount authorized and did not designate the bond to be purchased.


GENERAL


The accounting and statistical records of the system are kept in first class condition. Recommendations made during the last examination have been carried out in every detail. Suggestions were made during this audit that were readily accepted and full cooperation was obtained from all persons concerned with the administration of the system.


The personnel of the board includes the following members:
