Board of County Commissioners Boulder County Boulder, Colorado

We have examined management of Boulder County’s assertion that the significant elements of census data reported by Boulder County to Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association (Colorado PERA) for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024 were complete and accurate based on the criteria included in the Colorado Revised Statutes 24-51-101(42), 24-51-301 through 24-51-310, 24-51-401, 24-51-411, 24-51-413, and 24-51-415 and Colorado PERA Rules. The significant elements of census data reported to PERA during the calendar year ended December 31, 2024, were name, payroll period, social security number, PERA includable salary, employee and employer contributions, termination date, and for employees hired after January 1, 2020, gender. Boulder County’s management is responsible for its assertion. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about Boulder County’s compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion about compliance is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether management’s assertion is fairly stated, in all material respects. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of management’s assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to the engagement.

Our examination does not provide a legal determination on Boulder County’s compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that Boulder County complied with criteria included in the Colorado Revised Statutes 24-51-101(42), 24-51-301 through 24-51-310, 24-51-401, 24-51-411, 24-51-413, and 24-51-415 and Colorado PERA Rules as referred to above, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of Boulder County, Colorado PERA, Plante Moran, and the Colorado Office of the State Auditor and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
