1 Memorandum DATE: May 30, 2017 TO: Members of the Audit Committee FROM: David James, CPA, Director of Internal Audit SUBJECT: ACTUARIAL AUDIT RFP FINALISTS PRESENTATIONS Recommendation Take appropriate action. Background/Discussion OCERS has completed an evaluation of the six submissions for the actuarial audit RFP. The evaluation was performed by a panel consisting of members of OCERS executive management and Internal Audit. We have asked the two finalists selected to make presentations to the Audit Committee, and we are requesting that the Audit Committee recommend the finalist to the Board for appointment to perform the actuarial audit of OCERS consulting actuary, The Segal Company. Following this memo are the submissions of the two finalists, Milliman and Cheiron. The criteria for evaluation used by the selection panel were: Firm's experience of OCERS business and industry through an appropriate level of industry experience in the audit of pension plan actuaries, with an emphasis for CERL pension systems. Quality of the team proposed to provide services to OCERS. Staff qualifications, such as whether the lead actuary performing the audit possesses the FSA, EA, and MAAA designations for actuarial professionals. Staff experience, such as whether the proposed staff has experience auditing the actuaries of defined benefit pension plans. Information provided by references. Communication skills indicated in the proposal, such as whether the firm identified any potential areas of concern in the audit proposals and described its approach to resolving these issues. Understanding of scope indicated in the proposal. Whether the proposal addresses all requirements in the RFP. The organization, completeness, and quality of the proposal. Overall quality of the presentation. Pricing and value of the proposal. Scoring took into account and was adjusted based on the relative pricing differences of the proposals. The proposed prices were as follows: Aon Milliman CM GRS PWC Cheiron $ 54,900 $ 75,000 $ 55,500 $ 65,000 $ 70,000 $ 75,000 I - Actuarial Audit RFP Finalists Presentations 1 of 3 Audit Committee Meeting
2 Memorandum In general, the panel found that all of the applicants were well qualified and experienced actuaries. Final scores by the panellists were as follows: Aon Milliman CM GRS PWC Cheiron Evaluator Evaluator Evaluator Evaluator Evaluator Average Aon Milliman CM GRS PWC Cheiron The audit is part of OCERS' regular cycle of performing audits of its consulting actuary every five years. Segal has acted as OCERS consulting actuary since The most recent audit was completed in 2012 by Milliman. The audit will determine the accuracy of the December 31, 2015 valuation performed by Segal. The audit will also assess the actuarial assumptions and funding methodologies used, including a comparison to industry standards. The purpose of the audit is to provide an opinion regarding the reasonableness and accuracy of the actuarial assumptions, actuarial cost methods, valuation results, and contribution rates. The audit will be a full replication parallel valuation audit, including a full re-run of the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation and a review of detailed output on certain select test lives from the valuation group. The full replication parallel valuation should allow the auditing firm to determine whether: 1. The current valuation system used by Segal is accurately applying the assumptions as stated and is accurately valuing the appropriate benefits; 2. The current valuation system used by Segal is properly allocating the present value of benefits between normal cost and actuarial accrued liability; and I - Actuarial Audit RFP Finalists Presentations 2 of 3 Audit Committee Meeting
3 Memorandum 3. The current valuation system used by Segal is adding together liabilities appropriately for each decrement, for each member, and over the entire population so that there is reasonable assurance that no segment of the population is being ignored and no particular liabilities are being omitted.

Accurately reflect terminal pay and service adjustments, reciprocal benefits Are the COLA benefits accurately modelled? Reflect mechanics of CPI adjustments and caps Do the mortality assumptions reflect current recommended actuarial practices and plan experience? Consider generational mortality Benefit-weighting vs. life-weighting Do optional form elections create potentials for gains/losses? Review impact of COLA June 9,
25 Questions Specific to 37 Act Audits Are the employee contribution rates properly calculated? Review methodology for 50% COLA cost-sharing, impact of 30-year exemption Are there policies that may have unexpected consequences on achieving the funding objectives? Review excess earnings and other policies Does the report contain information necessary to understand the dynamics of different rate groups? Projections by Class/Tier Are there data issues that may have been created as a result of a transition in the pension administrative software? June 9,
