                        The Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission has completed an examination of the Methuen Retirement System pursuant to G.L. c. 32, s. 21. The examination covered the period from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2005. This audit was conducted in accordance with the accounting and management standards established by the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission in regulation 840 CMR 25.00. Additionally, all supplementary regulations approved by PERAC and on file at PERAC are listed in this report.    In our opinion, the financial records are being maintained and the management functions are being performed in conformity with the standards established by the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission. There are no significant audit findings to report.   We commend the Methuen Retirement Board for the exemplary operation of the system.   In closing, I acknowledge the work of examiners James Ryan and James Tivnan who conducted this examination and express appreciation to the Board of Retirement and staff for their courtesy and cooperation.                     

 

Sincerely,

Joseph E. Connarton Executive Director
