An audit report was filed on December 30, 2010 on the financial and operating practices of union-administered benefit funds with fiscal years ending in calendar year 2008. It was determined that there were variations in the amounts spent for administrative purposes, although in certain instances there was an indication that these expenses were reduced. It was suggested that the financial issues to be addressed were the reduction of administrative expenses, allocation of excess reserves of funds, and the minimization of operating deficits.
The analysis was to provide comparative data on the overall
financial activities of the 85 union-administered active and retiree welfare, education, and annuity funds which
received City contributions during Fiscal Year 2001. Several funds expended lower-than-average amounts for benefits
and maintained high reserves. Several financial issues should be addressed such as operating deficits due to certain
funds exceeding their revenues. Some funds had large operating surpluses resulting in high reserves, which indicate that
they should increase members' benefits. Other issues include improper eligibility delay, consolidation of professional
services, and field audits of funds.
From an analysis conducted on the financial activities of 98 union-administered welfare, education, and annuity funds, it was found that the expenses of certain funds exceeded their revenues, leading to operating deficits. In addition, an unnecessarily large percentage of funds was spend on administrative expenses and some funds had abnormally large reserves. Recommendations have been made to address these issues.
