ANNUAL FINANCIAL AUDIT JUNE 30, 2021 Magistrates Retirement Fund of Georgia A Component Unit of the State of Georgia Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer Greg S. Griffin | State Auditor Kristina A. Turner | Deputy State Auditor Greg S. Griffin State Auditor INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Members of the Board of Commissioners of the Magistrates' Retirement Fund of Georgia and Mr. Homer Bryson, Secretary-Treasurer We have audited the accompanying schedule of employer and nonemployer allocations of the Magistrates Retirement Fund of Georgia (Fund), a component unit of the State of Georgia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes. We have also audited the total for all entities of the columns titled net pension liability, total deferred outflows of resources, total deferred inflows of resources, and total employer pension expense (specified column totals) included in the accompanying schedule of pension amounts by employer and nonemployer of the Fund as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes. Management's Responsibility for the Schedules Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the schedule of employer and nonemployer allocations and the schedule of pension amounts by employer and nonemployer (collectively, the Schedules) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Schedules that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these Schedules based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Schedules are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Schedules. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Schedules, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Fund's preparation and fair presentation of the Schedules in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Schedules. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the Schedules referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the employer and nonemployer allocations and net pension liability, total deferred outflows of resources, total deferred inflows of resources and total employer pension expense of the Fund as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matter We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial statements of the Fund as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021. Our report thereon, dated April 29, 2022, expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Restriction on Use Our report is intended solely for the information and use of the Fund's management, members of the Board of Commissioners, the Fund employers, nonemployer contributing entities, and their auditors and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

The Retirement Fund administers a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan as defined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans an amendment of GASB Statement No. 25. Employees of magistrate courts, including the chief magistrate, are employees of the county in which the court is located. The counties, as the employers of the members of the Retirement Fund, do not make contributions to the Retirement Fund. The State of Georgia provides nonemployer contributions to the Retirement Fund through the collection of court filing fees. These nonemployer contributions are recognized as revenue by the Retirement Fund when collected from the courts. Note 2: Basis of Presentation The Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer (the schedules) are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Note 3: Components of Collective Net Pension Liability The components of the collective net pension liability of the participating employers and nonemployers at June 30, 2021 were as follows: Total pension liability Plan fiduciary net position Net pension liability (asset) $ 24,148,943 (41,860,819) $ (17,711,876) Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage of total pension liability 173.34% 11 MAGISTRATES RETIREMENT FUND OF GEORGIA (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia) Notes to Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer June 30, 2021 Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to June 30, 2020. The roll forward calculation adds the normal cost (also called service costs), subtracts the actual benefit payments and refunds for the plan year, and then applies the discount rate for the year. This actuarial valuation used the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return 2.5% N/A 6.50%, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation Mortality rates were based on the PubG-2010 (Amount Weighted General Employees) Mortality Table with generational mortality projection using the Buck modified 2020 scale for healthy lives and the PubG-2010 (Amount Weighted Contingent Survivor) mortality table with generational mortality projection using Buck Modified 2020 scale for current and future beneficiaries of deceased participants, and the PubG-2010 (Amount Weighted General Employees) Disabled Mortality Table with generational mortality projection using the Buck modified 2020 scale. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense, and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and then adding expected inflation. 12 MAGISTRATES RETIREMENT FUND OF GEORGIA (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia) Notes to Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer June 30, 2021 Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumes revenues will remain level. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The target asset allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Asset class Short-term Treasury bills Domestic fixed income International equities - developed markets Emerging market equities Large cap growth domestic equities Large cap value domestic equities Mid cap core domestic equities Small cap growth domestic equities Domestic real estate investment trusts Target allocation 3.0 % 37.0 10.0 2.0 23.0 8.0 15.0 1.0 1.0 100.0 % Long term expected real rate of return 0.2 % 1.1 5.5 8.0 6.5 6.3 6.9 6.7 4.2 *Rates shown are net of the 2.5% assumed rate of inflation Sensitivity of the Collective Net Pension Liability (Asset) to Changes in the Discount Rate The following table presents the collective net pension liability of the Retirement Fund, calculated using the discount rate of 6.50%, as well as what the Retirement Fund's net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (5.50%) or 1percentage-point higher (7.50%) than the current rate: Collective net pension asset 1% Decrease (5.50%) $ (15,121,970) Current discount rate (6.50%) (17,711,876) 1% Increase (7.50%) (19,926,338) 13 MAGISTRATES RETIREMENT FUND OF GEORGIA (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia) Notes to Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer June 30, 2021 Note 4: Special Funding Situation The State of Georgia, although not the employer of the Retirement Fund's members, makes contributions to the Retirement Fund through the collection of court filing fees as specified by O.C.G.A. 47-25-60. The State makes all these contributions to the Retirement Fund on behalf of the employers. Therefore, these employers are considered to be in a special funding situation as defined by GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. Since the employers of the Retirement Fund's members do not contribute directly to the Retirement Fund, there is no net pension liability to recognize for each employer. However, the notes to each employer's financial statements must disclose the portion of the nonemployer contributing entity's share of the collective net pension liability that is associated with that employer. In addition, each employer must recognize its portion of the collective pension expense of the State as well as recognize revenue contributions from the State in an equal amount. Note 5: Allocation Methodology GASB Statement No. 68 requires participating employers and nonemployer contributing entities to recognize their proportionate share of collective net pension liability and pension expense. These schedules are prepared to provide employers and nonemployer contributing entities with their calculated proportionate share. As discussed in Note 4, the counties, as employers of the Retirement Fund's members, do not make contributions to the Retirement Fund; therefore, the proportionate share allocation for each employer is 0%. The proportionate share attributable to the State of Georgia, as the nonemployer contributing entity, is therefore 100%. 14 MAGISTRATES RETIREMENT FUND OF GEORGIA (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia) Notes to Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer June 30, 2021 Effective July 1, 2014, O.C.G.A. 47-25-81 was amended so that benefits and member contributions are based on the member's compensation, subject to a limit that is based on the population of the member's county. This law allows the Retirement Fund's Board of Commissioners to increase the population-based salary limits. The amounts attributable to the State of Georgia, as the nonemployer contributing entity, have been allocated to each employer participating in the Retirement Fund based on the maximum salary used to calculate benefits as of June 30, 2021. These maximum salaries are shown in the following table: Annual Salary Monthly Salary Population of County Maximum Maximum 0 to 28,999 $ 43,212.97 $ 3,601.08 29,000 to 38,999 46,092.56 3,841.05 39,000 to 49,999 48,975.72 4,081.31 50,000 to 74,999 54,892.64 4,574.39 75,000 to 99,999 58,924.70 4,910.39 100,000 to 149,999 62,952.16 5,246.01 150,000 to 199,999 67,345.04 5,612.09 200,000 to 249,999 73,402.89 6,116.91 250,000 to 299,999 79,681.17 6,640.10 300,000 to 399,999 87,959.16 7,329.93 400,000 to 499,999 91,530.39 7,627.53 500,000 or more 95,101.61 7,925.13 15 MAGISTRATES RETIREMENT FUND OF GEORGIA (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia) Notes to Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer June 30, 2021 Note 6: Collective Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources The following table presents a summary of changes in the collective deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for the year ended June 30, 2021: Deferred outflows of resources Changes in assumptions Differences between expected and actual experience Total deferred outflows of resources Deferred inflows of resources Changes in assumptions Differences between expected and actual experience Differences between projected and actual investment earnings Net difference between projected and actual investment earnings (1) Total deferred inflows of resources Year of deferral 2014 2016 2021 2015 2019 2020 2014 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Amortization period 8.5 years 7.6 years 7.7 years Beginning of year balance $ 121,173 142,805 7.9 years 27,355 $ 291,333 Current Year Additions 12,934 12,934 Deductions 80,785 54,926 1,680 14,397 151,788 End of year balance 40,388 87,879 11,254 12,958 152,479 6.8 years 8.1 years 8.5 years 7.6 years 7 years 7.5 years 6.8 years 8.1 years 7.7 years 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years $ 32,058 2,716,449 30,609 164,199 206,332 60,517 232,961 530,869 68,352 (53,891) 394,488 (1,124,675) 1,555,777 5,316,649 6,679 382,599 20,406 63,154 68,777 13,448 48,533 74,770 202,049 68,352 (26,945) 131,496 (281,169) 1,063,330 25,379 2,333,850 10,203 101,045 137,555 47,069 184,428 456,099 1,353,728 (26,946) 262,992 (843,506) 4,253,319 (715,726) $ 3,258,268 5,316,649 6,872,426 955,064 1,835,479 3,645,859 8,295,215 (1) In accordance with paragraph 71b of GASB Statement No. 68, collective deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources arising from differences between projected and actual pension plan investment earnings in different measurement periods have been aggregated and included as a net collective deferred inflows of resources related to pensions. 16 MAGISTRATES RETIREMENT FUND OF GEORGIA (A Component Unit of the State of Georgia) Notes to Schedule of Employer and Nonemployer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer and Nonemployer June 30, 2021 Amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year Ended June 30, 2022 $ 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter Total $ (1,646,971) (1,713,771) (1,508,560) (1,771,963) (657,738) (843,733) (8,142,736) Changes in Proportion The amounts shown in the two preceding tables do not include employer- or nonemployer-specific deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to changes in proportion.
