When I learned of the theme for this year’s Annual Report, I remember thinking that it is a great topic, untilI attempted to articulate those thoughts for the benefi t of others. What do I do to empower those around me to succeed? Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve meand I learn.” What have you and I done in the past 12 months to help people get involved and learn? Isn’tthat the beginning of empowering others, so that they learn and have ownership?
What do I do to enhance the livelihood and wellbeing of those with whom I’m entrusted or of those towhom I report? The defi nition of enhance is to raise to a higher degree; intensify; magnify. I do know that’s what we’ve done here in PARSAC, where the risk management bar has been raised again this pastyear and the expectations intensifi ed so that we have become intentional about the safety of our collective employees and the protection of our many residents.
Do I invest in others and inspire them to act? It certainly is a challenge at times. But, truly investing inothers is the best way to ensure an unmatched return. I urge each of you to take this as a challenge andevaluate these attributes in regards to your own service and choose to invest wisely. Have you ever giventhought as to who has invested in you? I believe it was someone pretty special.
I once wrote a note and placed it in a card in honor of my nephew’s high school graduation. My intent wasto inspire him for greatness, as he prepared for college, and encourage him that life is so big out there thathe could do whatever he wants. Since then, I’ve given this piece of literature to many other high schoolgraduates. The framed version is much longer and certainly far more profound; but, the abbreviatedversion goes something like this:
To the Board of Directors:
Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California 3
You’re 18! You already know all that you know, and what you don’t know, you won’t know,Until you know. Then, you’ll know. Ya’ know?
You see, you’re 18.We don’t know what you know. But, we know what you don’t know.
And what you don’t know, you will know. Then, we’ll all know.
I am confi dent that I get the same blank response each time; “Really? I hope you didn’t spend too much time on that.” Well, that’s alright. The point is we all need inspiration, encouragement. The sameBenjamin Franklin was once quoted to say, “Either write something worth reading or do something worthwriting.” I don’t know if I will ever fi nd success in either category. But, I refuse to give up trying and as one calendar closes and another opens, I will continue to run the race set before me with diligence to fi nish that race well. There’s that approach, or there’s always this one: I don’t know how many calendars I haveleft to turn, but I do know, I have one less. I’ll choose the former.
In closing, I consider it an absolute privilege to serve as the President of PARSAC. This is a tremendousorganization and I am grateful for each of you who work tirelessly to ensure it stays that way. Choose howyou will invest in someone this next year and make the next one, the best one. Thank you and may 2016be the year that exceeds your expectations and imagination!
Greg Franklin, PresidentCity of Yucaipa

Empower, Enhance, Inspire; three simple words guide PARSAC and its Memberagencies in service to their communities. As a group we empower each otherwith support for our common vision. As a group we enhance the servicecapacity of each member by sharing resources. As a group we spark the spirit ofcreativity and innovation, invigorate the public process, and lend our insight andexperience to encourage the next generation of public leaders. Let’s celebrateour accomplishments for 2014/15:
• PARSAC was entrusted with two new members: the beautiful little city ofBelvedere in the middle of San Francisco Bay and the high performing RanchoCucamonga Fire District, our fi rst non-municipal agency.
• Ever the fi scal stewards, the Board returned $2 million in dividends to the membership while setting funds aside to cover its pension and OPEB obligations.The Workers’ Compensation program improved its outcomes while the Liabilityprogram proved the wisdom of funding conservatively for the quixotic natureof liability claims. Both the Workers’ Compensation Excess Pool (LAWCX) andthe Liability Excess Pool (CSAC) adapted to increasing costs, the EmploymentPractices Pool (ERMA) had another banner year, returning dividends andreducing rates.
• PARSAC’s focus has been and continues to be on cultivating an educated andengaged membership. This year the Board reallocated administrative costs tomore equitably distribute expenses by program; expanded coverage for defenseand indemnity related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claims from$250,000 to $1million. The coverage limit was also increased from $250,000 to$500,000 for claims alleging inverse condemnation. The enhancement refl ects concern about an uptick in litigation for the failure of public systems, includingstrict liability arising from trees that de-limb.
• The PARSAC Academy presented public employees with tools to addressconfl ict via an introduction to Verbal Judo and the best practices introduced members to the increasing risk of Workplace Violence by developing a newpolicy template and providing access to City of Houston’s award winning video,“Run, Hide, Fight.” Additionally, the Board continued the grant program, addeda $10,000 EPL grant and Liebert Cassidy Consortium membership, funded byERMA dividends.
PARSAC remains the JPA of choice due to the Board of Directors’ investment,innovation and commitment to be of service to each other. Through yourtough decisions and sacrifi ces we have a fi nancially strong, collegial and stable organization today, tomorrow and many years in to the future. On behalf of staff,we are grateful for your trust and confi dence and look forward to many years of service to PARSAC and its Member agencies.

The U.S. economy grew steadily over the past year, fueled by strength in the labor andhousing markets and consumer spending, the largest contributor to Gross DomesticProduct (GDP). As a result, intermediate-term interest rates trended higher; the yield onthe two-year U.S. Treasury Note rose 0.10% to end Fiscal Year 2013/14 at 0.46%, and the3-year yield rose 0.22% to 0.87%. Yields on short-term investments remained anchored bythe Federal Funds Rate, which has been between 0 – 0.25% since December 2008.
PARSAC’s investment portfolio has been actively managed by PFM Asset Management LLC,in compliance with PARSAC’s investment policy objectives. PARSAC’s investment programcontinues to perform well in the wake of the slow economic recovery and the increasing
global turmoil, as shown in the chart ofhistoric growth. This is primarily due tomaintaining a conservative investmentstrategy that focuses on safety fi rst, liquidity and then yield.
PFM seeks to add value in a variety ofways: duration management; adjustingmaturities along the yield curve;emphasizing sectors that offer the bestvalue; and careful issue-level analysisand security selection. The portfolioof almost $35 million recorded atotal return of 1.26% during the year,compared with 0.15% for the prior year.
Short-term funds are held by the California State Treasurer’s Offi ce in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and earned an average of 0.24% during the year. PARSAC earned$410,000 in investment income during Fiscal Year 2013/14, before factoring gains on salesand unrealized market value losses.
With the expected continued decline in the supplyof Federal Agency bonds and notes over the nextseveral years, PARSAC recently added two new assetclasses to the investment policy: high quality municipalsecurities and medium-term corporate notes, whichnow represent 4% and 14% of the portfolio, as shownat right.
While the next year will present many new challengesfor PARSAC -- higher interest rates triggered by widelyanticipated Fed action -- we can be confi dent that our strong fi nancial base will allow us to continue turning challenges into opportunities. PARSAC’s investments will continue to provide quality riskprotection at a reasonable cost.

Board of DirectorsPublic Agency Risk Sharing Authority of CaliforniaSacramento, California
We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of the Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the fi nancial statements, which collectively comprise PARSAC’s basic fi nancial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica; this includes the design, implementation, andmaintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of fi nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the standards applicable tofi nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and the State Controller’s Minimum Audit Requirements for California Special Districts. Those standards requirethat we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk ofmaterial misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to PARSAC’s preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of PARSAC’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the fi nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the fi nancial position of PARSAC as of June 30, 2015, and the changes in fi nancial position and cash fl ows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as accountingsystems prescribed by the State Controller’s offi ce and state regulations governing special districts.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussionand analysis and claims development information on pages 3 through 10 and 37 through 39 be presented tosupplement the basic fi nancial statements.

We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California 13
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about themethods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responseto our inquiries, the basic fi nancial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic fi nancial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with suffi cient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the fi nancial statements that collectively comprise PARSAC’s basic fi nancial statements. The combining statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic fi nancial statements.
The combining statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to theunderlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic fi nancial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic fi nancial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and otherrecords used to prepare the basic fi nancial statements or to the basic fi nancial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.In our opinion, the combining statements are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic fi nancial statements as a whole.
Implementation of New Accounting Standards
As disclosed in Note 1 to the fi nancial statements, PARSAC implemented GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, and GASB Statement No. 71, PensionTransaction for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – an amendment of GASB Statement No.68, during the fi scal year.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 16, 2015 on ourconsideration of PARSAC’s internal control over fi nancial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations and contracts and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scopeof our testing of internal control over fi nancial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over fi nancial reporting or on compliance.

ANALYSIS OF OVERALL FINANCIAL POSITION
PARSAC continues to be fi nancially stable, meeting Board approved equity targets and exceeding the actuary’s 90% confi dence level for funding overall. Total assets remained level with the prior year whilenet position decreased by 7%. The Liability Program net positiondecreased by $1.5 million due to increasing claim costs and return ofexcess dividends. The net position of the Workers’ CompensationProgram increased by $700,000 due to reduction in claim liabilities.
The Authority’s investment portfolio increased from $34.7 to $35.1million during the year, and continues to be managed by investmentadvisor, PFM Asset Management, LLC with securities held in acustodial account at Union Bank. The actively managed portfolioconsists of fi xed income, municipal and medium term corporate securities in accordance with the Authority’s investment policy andthe California Government Code. Short term funds not immediatelyneeded for the payment of claims and administrative expenses aremaintained in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund(LAIF), which is administered by the State Treasurer’s Offi ce. At June 30, 2015, the LAIF balance was approximately $489,000.
Figure 2 above, illustrates the portfolio’s change in maturity distribution from the prior year. The portfolioduration has been expanded into the fi fth year to maximize duration and yield. Future investment earnings directly impact program rates, as this projected income is a part of the funding and future liability calculation.When investments fall short of projections, additional funding may be required to meet actuarial revenueestimates. The Authority takes interest rate conditions into consideration when developing annual premiums.

ANALYSIS OF OVERALL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All members participate in the Liability Program, which generatedthe largest portion of revenue at $4.5 million or 44%. Thatpercentage drops to 39% when excess provider dividends of$863,000 are excluded from program revenue. The Workers’Compensation Program follows at $3.4 million, representing 34% ofrevenue. Investment income, including coupon earnings of $428,800and gains on the sale of investments of $41,400, were reduced bymarket value losses for total investment income of $464,100.
Overall, operating expenses decreased by $1.6 million. This wasmainly due to a decrease in the Workers’ Compensation Programexpenses for claims paid and change in claim liabilities. Additionally,expenses included $392,000 of excess dividends returned tomembers. Claims expense and excess insurance make up 75% oftotal expense as shown in the Figure 4 above. Claims administrationand loss control programs represent 7% of expenses and generaladministration is 12% of expenses.
Retrospective Premium Adjustments and Rate Stabilization Fund
Retrospective Premium Adjustment (RPA) is the reconciliation of equity, that is typically returned to membersthrough dividends, and on occasion assessments. The calculation is based on policies requiring a minimumoverall funding level as well as a Target Equity goal equal to fi ve times the pool self-insured retention before funds can be released. Both programs met the respective equity goals.
The Board approved an RPA dividend in each self-insured program that included a portion to fund the pensionand Other Post Employment Benefi ts (OPEB) for staff. The Liability Program dividend of $895,584 includes $166,916 for pension and OEPB liabilities and the balance to members participating in program years 2004/05to 2009/10. The Workers’ Compensation Program dividend of $1,399,460 includes $400,166 for pension andOPEB liabilities and just under $1 million to members participating in program years 1990/91 to 2006/07.
Rate Stabilization Funds were established in both the Liability and Workers’ Compensation programs to helpcushion the impact of pool or excess rate increases. Funds were not used this year. The Board approvedincreasing the Liability Program Rate Stabilization Fund to $700,000 by allocating a portion of CARMAdividends received. The Workers’ Compensation Program balance remained at $322,658.
Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefi ts (OPEB) Liability
The accounting standard, GASB 68, was effective this year requiring reporting of unfunded pension liabilities.Additionally, a similar standard (GASB 75) will require reporting of OPEB liabilities beginning with the 2017/18year.
The Board recognized the value of early funding of these liabilities to reduce the agency’s total cost, and approvedpayment of $710,912 for the pension liability and $335,121 for the OPEB liability. The unfunded liabilities werefrom the latest actuarial valuations provided by CalPERS and Bickmore Risk Services. These funds will come fromequity, a portion from the equity paid through the RPA process and the balance from a CARMA dividend.

The Authority contracts with Bickmore RiskServices for annual funding and year-endactuarial valuations of the self-insured Liabilityand Workers’ Compensation Programs.
Figure 5 illustrates the Liability ProgramUltimate Loss by Program Year as determinedby the actuary. The ultimate loss represents thetotal cost of claims expected in a given programyear. Components of ultimate loss are paid andreserved claims, incurred but not reported(IBNR) and unallocated loss adjustment expense(ULAE) reserves. The Liability Program claimhistory has been unpredictable, with claim costsranging from a high of $5.4 million to a low of$50,000. The actuary’s ultimate cost of claimsaverages $2.4 million over the past fi ve years, an increase from $1.7 million reported last year.
Figure 6 illustrates the Workers’Compensation Program Ultimate Loss byProgram Year as determined by the actuary.The Program’s history indicates moreconsistent claim patterns than the LiabilityProgram with costs in the early years averaging$1 million. Claims costs began increasing sevenyears ago, nearly doubling the prior annual costexpectations. In the past four years, claimshave trended down and the actuary’s averageultimate cost of claims is $2 million per year.
CAPITAL ASSETS
The majority of the Authority’s capital assets are invested in a building located in Sacramento. The buildinghouses PARSAC’s administrative offi ce and the remaining 3,600 square feet, formerly tenant space, has been converted into a conference facility for meetings and training. The Authority will endeavor to lease the spacewhen economic circumstances in the market improve.

1. ORGANIZATION
General. The Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC) is a governmental joint powersauthority pursuant to the Government Code of the State of California, commencing with Section6500. PARSAC is a statewide agency providing California municipalities with risk managementservices including loss control, risk sharing and joint purchase coverage programs.
PARSAC offers self-funded Liability and Workers’ Compensation programs. In addition, PARSACoffers members access to group purchase insurance programs covering Property, Fidelity Bonds,Special Events and Employee Benefi ts.
Liability Program – The Liability Program, implemented in 1986, provides comprehensive general andautomobile liability coverage. PARSAC is self-insured to $1 million and purchases excess coveragethrough the California State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC-EIA).PARSAC also offers members Employment Practices Liability coverage through the Employment RiskManagement Authority (ERMA).
Workers’ Compensation Program – The Workers’ Compensation Program, implemented in 1990,provides coverage for employee injuries arising out of and in the course of employment. From1990 to 2007, PARSAC was self-insured to $250,000. In 2008, PARSAC increased the self-insuredretention from $250,000 to $500,000. Losses in excess of PARSAC’s limit are covered through theLocal Agency Workers’ Compensation Excess Pool (LAWCX) up to statutory limits.
PARSAC is a California public entity as provided in Internal Revenue Section 115; thus, it is tax-exempt. The California Offi ce of the Controller, Division of Local Governmental Fiscal Affairs, for the purpose of fi ling an Annual Report of Financial Transactions of Special Districts considers PARSAC to be a “Special District.”
Reporting Entity. The reporting entity includes all activities considered to be part of PARSAC. This includesfi nancial activity relating to all of the membership years of PARSAC. In determining its reporting entity, PARSAC considered all governmental units that were members of PARSAC since inception.The criteria did not require the inclusion of these entities in their fi nancial statements principally because PARSAC does not exercise oversight responsibility over any members.
Basis of Accounting. The accompanying fi nancial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Underthe accrual basis, revenues and the related assets are recognized when earned, and expenses arerecognized when the obligation is incurred. PARSAC applies all applicable FASB pronouncementsin accounting and reporting for its proprietary operations, except where superseded by GASBpronouncements. Liabilities for reserves for open claims and claims incurred but not reported havebeen recorded in PARSAC’s fi nancial statements.
PARSAC maintains separate program accounting for each program’s revenues, expenses and relatedreserves. The program funds are considered a Proprietary/Enterprise Fund type.
Fund Accounting. The accounts of PARSAC are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is consideredto be a separate accounting entity. PARSAC’s funds have been combined for the presentation of thebasic fi nancial statements. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self- balancing accounts which comprise its assets, liabilities, net position, revenues and expenses.The general and administrative expenses of PARSAC are allocated 55% to the Liability Program, 40%to the Workers’ Compensation Program and 5% to the Property Program.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSYEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California 23
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statement of cash fl ows, PARSAC considers all highly liquid assets with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
Receivables. All receivables are reported at their gross value, and where appropriate, are reduced by theestimated portion that is expected to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2015, the total accountsreceivable portfolio was considered collectible. Interest on investments is recorded in the year theinterest is earned.
Investments and Investment Pools. PARSAC records its investment in Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)and its other investments at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as non-operating revenue inthe statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position.
Fair value of investments and LAIF has been determined by the sponsoring government based onquoted market prices. PARSAC’s investment in LAIF has been valued based on the relative fair valueof the entire external pool to the external pool’s respective amortized cost.
Capital Assets. Capital assets are carried at cost. Assets with an original purchase price over $10,000 arecapitalized at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line method. Theestimated useful lives used for buildings and improvements is thirty years. The estimated useful lifefor furniture and equipment range from three to fi ve years. Software is depreciated over fi ve years.
Accrued Vacation. In accordance with PARSAC’s employee policies, compensated absences for vacation areaccrued at various numbers of hours per month depending on each employee’s years of service. Theliability for compensated absences at June 30, 2015 was $110,843 and is included in accrued expenseson the statement of net position.
Provision for Unpaid Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses. PARSAC’s policy is to establish claims liabilitiesbased on estimates of the ultimate cost of claims that have been reported but not settled, and ofclaims that have been incurred but not reported. The length of time for which such costs must beestimated varies depending on the coverage involved. Estimated amounts of salvage, subrogation andinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims are deducted from the liability for unpaid claims. PARSACincreases the liability for allocated and unallocated claims adjustment expenses. Because actual claimscosts depend on such complex factors as infl ation, changes in doctrine of legal liability and damage awards, the process used in computing claims liabilities does not necessarily result in an exact amount.Claims liabilities are recomputed periodically using a variety of actuarial and statistical techniques toproduce current estimates that refl ect recent settlements, claim frequency and other economic and social factors. A provision for infl ation in the calculation of estimated future claims costs is implicit in the calculation because reliance is placed both on actual historical data that refl ect past infl ation and on other factors that are considered to be appropriate modifi ers of past experience. Adjustments to claims liabilities are charged or credited to expense in the period in which they are made. Theportion of claims considered currently payable has been actuarially determined.
Pension Plan. PARSAC recognizes a net pension liability, which represents its proportionate share of theexcess of the total pension liability over the fi duciary net position of the pension refl ected in the actuarial report provided by the CalPERS Actuarial Offi ce. The net pension liability is measured as of PARSAC’s prior fi scal year-end. Changes in the net pension liability are recorded, in the period incurred, as pension expense or as deferred infl ows of resources or deferred outfl ows of resources depending on the nature of the change. The changes in net pension liability that are recorded asdeferred infl ows of resources or deferred outfl ows of resources (that arise from changes in actuarial assumptions or other inputs and differences between expected or actual experience) are amortized
24
over the weighted average remaining service life of all participants in the respective pension planand are recorded as a component of pension expense beginning with the period in which they areincurred. The average remaining service lifetime for the 2013-2014 measurement period is 3.8 years.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outfl ows and infl ows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fi duciary net position and additions to/deductions from the fi duciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS Financial Offi ce. For this purpose, benefi t payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with thebenefi t terms. Investments are reported at fair value. CalPERS audited fi nancial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.
GASB 68 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information withincertain defi ned timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date June 30, 2013
Measurement Date June 30, 2014
Measurement Period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014
Projected earnings on pension investments are recognized as a component of pension expense.Differences between projected and actual investment earnings are reported as deferred infl ows of resources or deferred outfl ows of resources and amortized as a component of pension expense on a closed basis over a fi ve-year period beginning with the period in which the difference occurred. Each subsequent year will incorporate an additional closed basis fi ve-year period of recognition.
Net Position. PARSAC adopted a Target Equity policy to ensure adequate overall funding of the pooledprograms. The policy designates that equity may be returned to members when (1) the overallconfi dence level exceeds 90%, (2) an additional amount equal to fi ve times the self-insured retention has been set aside and (3) equity is available to return in eligible years.
The three methods approved for returning equity to members are, (1) the Retrospective PremiumAdjustment (RPA) process; (2) the Liability and Workers’ Compensation Program Rate StabilizationFund, and (3) an alternate use of equity approach.
• The RPA process reconciles program year revenue and expenses. Claims in the LiabilityProgram become eligible for an RPA in the fi fth year; thus, allowing the claims suffi cient time for development. Workers’ Compensation Program claims fi rst become eligible for an RPA in the eighth year.
• The Liability Program Rate Stabilization Fund was established in 2009/10 from savings realizedwhen PARSAC changed excess programs. The policy limit for the fund was increased to $750,000and allows funds to be used to offset pool or excess premium rate increases.
• The Workers’ Compensation Program established a Rate Stabilization Fund. The policy limitsthe fund balance to $500,000 and allows funds to be used to offset pool or excess premium rateincreases.
• The Employment Practices Liability (EPL) Rate Stabilization Fund was established from an ERMAdividend. The policy limits the fund balance to $300,000 to offset rate increases and pay ERMAassessments.

Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California 25
Excess Insurance. PARSAC enters into agreements whereby it obtains excess coverage from other jointpowers authorities or insurance companies. PARSAC does not report excess insured risk as a liabilityunless it is probable that a risk will not be covered by excess insurers. Settlements have not exceededinsurance coverage in each of the past three years.
Revenue Recognition. Premium contributions are recognized as revenue when earned based upon thecoverage period of the related insurance. To the extent that allocated losses exceed premiumcontributions previously paid, interest and other income, PARSAC can assess its member’s additionalcontributions. Supplemental assessments are recognized as income in the period assessed. Operatingrevenues and expenses include all activities necessary to achieve the objectives of PARSAC. Non-operating revenues and expenses include investment activities, rental income and other non-essentialactivity.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of fi nancial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions.These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date ofthe fi nancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes. As a governmental agency PARSAC is exempt from both federal income and California statefranchise taxes.
New Accounting Pronouncements. The provisions of the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB) Statements have are effective for fi nancial statements for fi scal years beginning after June 15, 2014 and have been implemented in the current fi nancial statements.
Statement No. 68 “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASBStatement No. 27”
Statement No. 71 “Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the MeasurementDate – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68”
2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 consisted of the following:
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash on Hand $ 88
Cash in Bank 694,640
LAIF 489,301
Money Market Accounts 134,227
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents $1,318,256
Custodial Credit Risk. Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of adepository fi nancial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodialcredit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment orcollateral securities that are in the possession of another party. None of PARSAC’s investments were
26
subject to custodial credit risk. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirectinvestment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such asLAIF). The California Government Code and PARSAC’s investment policy do not contain legal orpolicy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments,other than the following provision of deposits: The California Government Code requires that afi nancial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived bythe governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equalat least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows fi nancial institutions to secure public entity deposits by pledging fi rst trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2015, none of PARSAC’s deposits with fi nancial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were held in uncollateralized accounts.
Local Agency Investment Fund. PARSAC places certain funds with the State of California’s Local AgencyInvestment Fund (LAIF). PARSAC is a voluntary participant in LAIF, which is regulated by CaliforniaGovernment Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California andthe Pooled Money Investment Board. The State Treasurer’s Offi ce pools these funds with those of other governmental agencies in the State and invests the cash. The fair value of PARSAC’s investmentin this pool is reported in the accompanying fi nancial statements based upon PARSAC’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized costs ofthat portfolio). The monies held in the pooled investment funds are not subject to categorization byrisk category. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained byLAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
3. INVESTMENTS
At June 30, 2015, investments are reported at fair value and consisted of the following:
Federal Agency Bonds and Notes $13,396,423
U.S. Treasury Notes 14,979,992
Municipal Obligations 1,706,401
Corporate Notes 5,066,720
Total Investments 35,149,536
Investments maturing within one year (1,052,678)
Long-term investments $34,096,858
Disclosures Relating to Interest Risk Rate. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interestrates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of aninvestment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One ofthe ways that PARSAC manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination ofshorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash fl ows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide thecash fl ow and liquidity needed for operations.

Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations. PARSAC’s portfolio includes thefollowing investments that are highly sensitive to interest rate fl uctuations (to a greater degree than already indicated in the information provided above).
Highly Sensitive Investments Fair Value at Year End
Federal Agency Securities $651,210
These securities are subject to early payment in a period of declining interest rates. The resultantreduction in expected total cash fl ows affects the fair value of these securities and makes the fair value of these securities highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk. Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will notfulfi ll its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the actual Standard andPoor’s rating as of June 30, 2015 for each investment type:

5. FACILITY EXPENSES
PARSAC purchased an 8,700 square foot building in Sacramento in 1995. Of the 7,200 useable square feet,PARSAC occupies approximately 3,576 square feet and historically leased out the balance. Due to thecontinued downward trend in the Sacramento commercial leasing market, approximately 3,639 square feetof unoccupied tenant space was converted to a conference facility. The space is available for training andcommittee meetings. PARSAC will endeavor to lease the space when economic circumstances improve. Thetenant space was vacant during the 2015 fi scal year. For the period ended June 30, 2015, the facility expenses were $59,425. For the 2014/2015 year, 50% of budgeted facility expenses were allocated to the programs inthe same proportion as general and administrative expenses.
6. RETROSPECTIVE PREMIUM ADJUSTMENTS
PARSAC’s Joint Powers Agreement requires periodic evaluation of each programs’ equity. The process isreferred to as a Retrospective Premium Adjustment (RPA).
For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Board approved RPA’s in the Liability and Workers’ Compensationprograms of $895,584 and $1,399,460, respectively.

8. NET POSITION
Net Position is the excess of all the Authority’s assets and deferred outfl ows over all its liabilities, and deferred infl ows. Net Position is divided into three categories as follows:
Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of net position which is represented by the currentnet book value of the Authority’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issue tofi nance these assets, if any.
Restricted describes the portion of net position which is restricted as to use by the terms andconditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictionswhich the Authority cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include facility capacity fees receivedfor use on capital projects, fees charged for the provision of future water resources and debt servicereserve funds.
Unrestricted describes the portion of net position which is not restricted as to use.

9. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Plan Description. Qualifi ed employees are eligible to participate in the Authority’s cost-sharing multiple employer defi ned benefi ts pension plan administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement system (CalPERS). Benefi t provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and Authority resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pensionplans regarding benefi t provisions, assumption and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
The Authority’s plan had less than 100 active members as of June 30, 2014 actuarial valuation. As aresult, PARSAC’s members are required to participate in a larger Miscellaneous Employee Risk Pool.
Benefi ts Provided. CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefi ts, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefi ts to plan members, who must be public employees or their benefi ciaries. Benefi ts are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with fi ve years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefi ts. The Basic Death benefi t is provided. The cost of living adjustment has a maximum increase of 5%.
Effective January 1, 2013, CalPERS instituted a new pension plan as a result of the Public EmployeePension Reform Act (PEPRA). Employees hired from that date on are subject to the new 2% at 62benefi t formula. The 2.5% at 55 benefi t formula has been closed to new hires from January 1, 2013 on, unless they meet the rules for a CalPERS Classic employee. A Classic employee is already CalPERSmember through prior employment and was employed by a CalPERS member within the last 6months. See the CalPERS website for more information.

Required Employee Contribution Rates 8.0% 6.5%
Required Employer Contribution Rates 16.541% 6.7%
Contributions. Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires thatthe employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by theactuary effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributionsare determined through the CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. For public agency cost-sharing plans covered by the Miscellaneous risk pool, the Plan’s actuarially determined rate is based onthe estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan’s allocated share of the risk pool’s costs of benefi ts earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is requiredto contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate ofemployees. For the measurement period ended June 30, 2014 (the measurement date), the activeemployee contribution rate is 7.942 percent of annual pay, and the average employers’ contributionrate is 16.541 percent of annual payroll. During the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, PARSACcontributed 6% and 4%, respectively, of the employee portion of the active plan members’ annualsalaries. For the year ended June 30, 2015, the contributions recognized as part of pension expensewere as follows:
Contributions - Employer $91,048Contributions - Employee (paid by Employer) 33,150
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outfl ows of Resources and Deferred Infl ows of Resources Related to Pensions. At June 30, 2015, PARSAC reported a liability of $558,665 for its proportionateshare of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2014 andthe total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarialvaluation as of that date. PARSAC’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projectionof PARSAC’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projectedcontributions of all participating employers in the Miscellaneous Risk Pool, actuarially determined.

Actuarial Assumptions
For the measurement period ending June 30, 2014 (the measurement date), the total pension liabilitywas determined by rolling forward the June 30, 2013 total pension liability. Both the June 30, 2013total pension liability and the June 30, 2014 pension liability were based on the following actuarialmethods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal in accordance with the requirements ofGASB Statement No. 68
Actuarial Assumptions
Discount Rate 7.50%
Infl ation 2.75%
Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Service
Investment Rate of Return 7.50% Net of Pension Plan Investment and AdministrativeExpenses; includes Infl ation
Mortality Rate Table1 Derived using CalPERS’ Membership Data for all Funds
Post Retirement Benefi t Contract COLA up to 2.75% until Purchasing Power
Increase Protection Allowance Floor on Purchasing Power Applies,2.75% thereafter
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013 valuation were based on the results of anactuarial experience study for the fi scal years 1997 to 2011, including updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates.
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 infl ation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-termand long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash fl ows. Such cash fl ows were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (fi rst 10 years) and long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected normalreturns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefi ts was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrivedat the same present value of benefi ts for cash fl ows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent tothe single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of onepercent.
The table on the following page refl ects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discountrate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 percent. To determinewhether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan,CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be differentfrom the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run outof assets. Therefore, the current 7.50 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipalbond rate calculation is not necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 7.50 percent isapplied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund.
The 7.50 percent investment return assumption used in this accounting valuation is net ofadministrative expenses. Administrative expenses are assumed to be 15 basis points. An investmentreturn excluding administrative expenses would have been 7.65 percent. Using this lower discountrate has resulted in a slightly higher total pension liability and net pension liability. This difference wasdeemed immaterial to the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defi ned Benefi t Pension Plan.

10. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
PARSAC provides post-retirement health care benefi ts for employees who satisfy the requirements for retirement under CalPERS (attained age 50 with 5 years of service). PARSAC currently pays 100% of themedical premium and 80% of the dependent’s premium for active and retired employees.
PARSAC’s annual other post-employment benefi t (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with theparameters of GASB Cod. Sec. P50.108.109. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoingbasis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or fundingexcess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. PARSAC reduced the remaining period for amortizing theunfunded actuarial accrued liability from thirty years to ten years effective July 1, 2014.
The following table shows the components of PARSAC’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actuallycontributed to the plan, and changes in PARSAC’s net OPEB obligation:

June 30, 2014 $60,492 100% $ -
June 30, 2015 $81,885 100% $ -
As of July 1, 2013, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the actuarial accrued liability for benefi ts was $676,511, and the actuarial value of assets was $412,615, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability(UAAL) of $263,896. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the Plan) was$570,673, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 46.2%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptionsabout the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about futureemployment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status ofthe plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actualresults are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule offunding progress, shown above, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value ofplan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefi ts.Projections of benefi ts for fi nancial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSYEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California 37
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefi ts provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing the benefi t costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reducethe effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistentwith the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2013 actuarial valuation, the entry age normal cost method was used. The actuarial assumptionsinclude a 7.25% investment rate (net of administrative expenses), which is a blended rate of the expectedlong-term investment returns on plan assets and on the employer’s own investments calculated basedon the funded level of the plan on the valuation date, and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 8.5%initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 4.5% after 10 years. Both rates include a 3% infl ation assumption. The actuarial value of assets was determined using techniques that spread the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a fi ve-year period. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open basis. The remaining amortization period at June 30, 2015,was 9 years.
11. JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
PARSAC participates in joint ventures under several Joint Powers Agreements (JPA) with Local AgencyWorkers’ Compensation Excess JPA (LAWCX), Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA) andCalifornia State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC-EIA). The relationship is such thatLAWCX, ERMA and CSAC-EIA are not component units of PARSAC for fi nancial reporting purposes.
ERMA arranges for and provides up to $975,000 employment practices liability coverage in excess ofthe self-insured retention while CSAC-EIA provides $34 million excess liability insurance coverage(including employment practices) above PARSAC’s $1 million retention. LAWCX provides excess workers’compensation insurance coverage for losses in excess of $500,000 up to statutory limits.
ERMA, CSAC-EIA and LAWCX are governed by Boards with member agency representation. Theirrespective Boards control the operations, including selection of management and approval of operatingbudgets, independent of any infl uence by the member agencies beyond their representation on the board. Each member agency pays a premium commensurate with the level of coverage requested and sharessurpluses and defi cits proportionate to their participation. Complete fi nancial statements of ERMA, CSAC-EIA and LAWCX may be obtained from each agency, respectively.

(1) This line shows the total of each fi scal year’s earned deposit premiums and cumulative investment income less ceded (excess insurance cost) to arriveat net earned contribution.
(2) This line shows each fi scal year’s other operating costs of the Program including overhead and loss adjustment expenses not allocable to individualclaims.
(3) This line shows the cumulative Retrospective Premium Adjustmentattributed to the program year.
(4) This line shows the Program’s gross incurred losses and allocated lossadjustment expense, losses assumed by reinsurers, and net incurred lossesand loss adjustment expense (both paid and accrued) as originally reportedat the end of the year in which the event that triggered coverage occurred(called program year).
(5) This section of rows shows the cumulative net amounts paid as of the endof successive years for each program year.
(6) This line shows the latest reestimated amount of losses assumed byreinsurers for each program year.
(7) This section of rows shows how each program year’s net amount of lossesincreased or decreased as of the end of successive years. (This annualreestimation results from new information received on known losses,reevaluation of existing information on known losses, and emergence ofnew losses not previously known.)
(8) This line compares the latest reestimated net incurred losses amount tothe amount originally established (line 3) and shows whether this latestestimate of losses is greater or less than originally thought. As datafor individual program years mature, the correlation between originalestimates and reestimated amounts is commonly used to evaluate theaccuracy of net incurred losses currently recognized in less matureprogram years. The columns of the table show data for successiveprogram years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVERFINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND
OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTSPERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of Directors and MembersPublic Agency Risk Sharing Authority of CaliforniaSacramento, California
We have audited in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and thestandards applicable to fi nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States, the fi nancial statements of Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the fi nancial statements, which collectively comprise PARSAC’s basic fi nancial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 16, 2015.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the fi nancial statements, we considered PARSAC’s internal control over fi nancial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for thepurpose of expressing our opinion on the fi nancial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of PARSAC’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of PARSAC’sinternal control.
A defi ciency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees,in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on atimely basis. A material weakness is a defi ciency, or a combination of defi ciencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of PARSAC’s fi nancial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A signifi cant defi ciency is a defi ciency, or a combination of defi ciencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the fi rst paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all defi ciencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, signifi cant defi ciencies. Given these limitations, during our audit, we did not identify any defi ciencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identifi ed.
Compliance and other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether PARSAC’s fi nancial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations and contracts,noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of fi nancial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly wedo not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to bereported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the resultsof that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of PARSAC’s internal control or on compliance. Thisreport is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering PARSAC’sinternal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
