TRS management and staff are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of this report and for ensuring that all material disclosures have been made. To the best of our knowledge, the information pre- sented is a fair and accurate portrayal of the financial position and operations of TRS as of June 30, 2004. TRS was established by the State of Illinois on July 1, 1939, to provide retirement, disability, and death benefits to teachers at Illinois public elementary and secondary schools outside the city of Chicago. This report consists of five sections: • The Introductory Section contains the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Fi- nancial Reporting, this Letter of Transmittal, a message from our executive director that outlines the major activities of the past year and plans for the future, identification of the TRS Board of Trustees and organizational structure, and consulting and professional ser- vice providers. • The Financial Section contains the Independent Auditors' Report, Management's Discus- sion and Analysis, the financial statements and related notes, required supplementary schedules, and other supplementary information. • The Investment Section contains information detailing TRS performance, investment man- agers, and the TRS investment portfolio. • The Actuarial Section contains the actuary’s letter of certification, actuarial assumptions and methods, the latest actuarial valuation, certain statistical information on active mem- bers and benefit recipients, and a plan summary including any changes in the plan. • The Statistical Section contains information and additional statistical data pertaining to benefit recipients and historical data on revenue and expenses. Financial Information A system of internal controls helps TRS to monitor and safeguard assets and promote efficient operations. An annual external audit is conducted by the Illinois Auditor General in addition to regular reviews by our internal auditor. The annual budget for TRS administrative expenses is approved by the Board of Trustees, and financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) within the guidelines established by the Gov- ernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
