In
accordance with established practice, an outside accounting firm is
retained on a three year rotating basis to audit the Bureau.
Deloitte & Touche LLP was appointed to complete the audit for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.
Following the close of the fiscal year, this firm made a complete audit
of the books and records of the Bureau, which were found to be proper.
The audit report was dated August 23, 2006.
Following receipt of the report, the difference between the
fiscal year assessments, and other income and expenses was returned
through the usual assessment adjustment.
The result is to establish for the fiscal year an exact balance
between the assessments levied upon the member companies and the
expenses of the Bureau.
In
like manner, the factor included annually in the premium rate structure
is based on the current approved budget with due consideration of the
funds generated by application of the preceding factor and the premium
to which it is applied. The
result is a continuing balance between the expenses of the Bureau and
the funds developed for this purpose through the premium rate structure.
Table II shows the income and expenditures statement for calendar year
2006. The twenty-five year
development of New Jersey workers
compensation business and the net cost of administering the Bureau are
shown in Exhibit E in the Appendix.
The Exhibit is of interest in recording the growth of the
business in terms of written premium, number of policy and statistical
filings, as well as the number of experience rated risks.
