MEMORANDUM #20, 2009
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: All Retirement Boards
FROM: Joseph E. Connarton, Executive Director
RE: Revisions to PERAC’s Accounting Manual for Massachusetts Pension Systems
DATE: May 7, 2009
PERAC has updated the accounting manual that was initially distributed to retirement boards in August of 2008. The
attached 2009 Update Advisory provides details about the changes that have been made. We have provided you with a
set of the updated three-hole-punched, double-sided pages that you should insert your manual after deleting their
original counterparts.
The updated accounting manual will be posted on PERAC’s Home Page, www.mass.gov.perac under Publications and
under the Audit Unit. The 2009 Update Advisory as well as a file that consists solely of the updated pages will also be
posted.
Our inventory of remaining copies of the Accounting Manual, the 2009 Update Advisory, and sets of the updated
three-hole-punched, double-sided pages will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis at MACRS.
From this point on, the accounting manual will be updated on the Web when necessary. Board administrators will be
notified of such changes via e-mail and asked to download the amended pages from the website. This approach is
being taken because we can reduce expenditures for paper and postage and we can all benefit from being “greener”. If
you find that copying updates from the Website doesn’t work for you, we will provide assistance upon request.
