We have audited the financial statements - regulatory basis of the various funds of Greenwich Township, in Warren County (the "Township") as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the foregoing table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey (the "Division") to demonstrate compliance with the Division's regulatory basis of accounting, and the budget laws of New Jersey; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, audit requirements prescribed by the Division, and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Township's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 Township'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 financial statements.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Township Committee

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generatly Accepted Accounting Principles
As described in Note 1, the financial statements are prepared by the Township on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division to demonstrate compliance with the Division's regulatory basis of accounting and the budget laws of New Jersey, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for the Adverse Opinio'IJ on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America the financial position of each fund of the Township as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, or the changes in financial position or where applicable, cash flows thereof for the years then ended.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The financial statements - regulatory basis - of the various funds of the Township do not include the general fixed assets account group as of December 31, 2016, which should be included to conform with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division. As described in Note l, the amount that should be recorded in the general fixed assets account group as of December 31, 2016 cannot be determined.
Qualified Opinion on Regulatory Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, except for the effects on the December 31, 2017 and 2016 financial statements of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements - regulatory basis - referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the various funds of Greenwich Township as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of operations and changes in fund balance, where applicable, of such funds, thereof for the years then ended, and account group on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division to demonstrate compliance with the Division's regulatory basis of accounting and the budget laws of New Jersey, as described in Note l.
Other Matters
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the :financial statements of the various funds that collectively comprise the Township's financial statements. The supplementary data schedules listed in the table of contents and the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance") and New Jersey's OMB Circular 15-08, Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Township Committee
Greenwich Township Page 3
The supplementary data schedules and the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the various fund financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the various fund financial statements or to the various fund financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary data schedules and the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 26, 2018 on our consideration of Greenwich Township's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Greenwich Township's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

GREENWICH TOWNSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Reporting Entity
1
Except as noted below, the financial statements of Greenwich Township include every board, body, officer or commission supported and maintained wholly or in part by funds appropriated by Greenwich Township, as required by N.J.S. 40A:5-5. Accordingly, the financial statements of Greenwich Township do not include the operations of the Volunteer Fire and First Aid Squads.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") Codification Section 2100, "Defining the Financial Reporting Entity" establishes standards to determine whether a governmental component unit should be included in the financial reporting entity. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, component units can be other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with a primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading. The primary government is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and (1) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A legally separate, tax-exempt organization should be reported as a component unit of a reporting entity if all of the following criteria are met: (1) The economic resources received or held by the separate organization are entirely or almost entirely for the direct benefit of the primary government, its component units, or its constituents. (2) The primary government, or its component units, is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, a majority of the economic resources received or held by the separate organization. (3 ). The economic resources received or held by an individual organization that the specific primary government, or its component units, is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, are significant to that primary government. As the financial reporting entity was established in accordance with New Jersey statutes, the requirements of GASB Codification Section 2100 were not followed and, accordingly, the reporting entity could be different from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
B. Description of Funds
The accounting policies of Greenwich Township conform to the accounting practices applicable to municipalities which have been prescribed or permitted by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey (the "Division"). Such practices are designed primarily for determining compliance with legal provisions and budgetary restrictions and as a means of reporting on the stewardship of public officials with respect to public funds. Under this method of accounting, Greenwich Township accounts for its financial transactions through the following separate funds:
Current Fund - Resources and expenditures for governmental operations of a general nature, including federal and state grant funds.
Trust Fund - Receipt, custodianship and disbursement of funds in accordance with the purpose for which each reserve was created.
General Capital Fund - Receipt and disbursement of funds for the acquisition of general capital facilities, other than those acquired in the Current Fund.
Sewer Utility and Capital Funds - Account for the operations, resources and expenditures for the payment of and acquisition of capital facilities of the municipally owned Sewer Utility.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
B. Description of Funds (Cont'd)

General Fixed Assets Account Group - Estimated values of land, buildings and certain fixed assets of the Township discussed in Note IE.
C. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The more significant accounting policies in New Jersey follow.
Revenue is recorded when received in cash except for certain amounts which may be due from the State of New Jersey and for the prepayment of future years' revenue. Grant revenue is realized in the operating funds when it is budgeted and in the capital funds when improvements are authorized. The amounts recorded as property taxes and consumer accounts receivable have not been included in revenue. Amounts that are due to the municipality, which are susceptible of accrual, are recorded as receivables with offsetting reserves in the Current Fund.
Expenditures are charged to operations generally based on budgeted amounts. Exceptions to this general rule include:
1. Accumulated unpaid vacation, sick pay and other employee amounts are not accrued.
2. Prepaid expenses, such as insurance premiums applicable to subsequent periods, are charged to current budget appropriations in total.
3. Principal and interest on long-term debt are recognized when due.
Expenditures, if any, in excess of appropriations, appropriation reserves or ordinances become deferred charges which must be raised by future taxes. Outstanding encumbrances at December 31 are reported as a cash liability in the financial statements and constitute part of the statutory appropriation reserve balance. Appropriation reserves covering unexpended appropriation balances are automatically created at December 3 1 of each year and recorded as liabilities, except for amounts which may be cancelled by the governing body. Appropriation reserves are available, until lapsed at the close of the succeeding year, to meet specific claims, commitments or contracts incurred during the preceding fiscal year. Lapsed appropriation reserves are recorded as income.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
C. Basis of Accounting (Cont'd)
3
Had the Township's financial statements been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, encumbrances would not be considered as expenditures; appropriation reserves would not be recorded; revenue susceptible to accrual would have been reflected without offsetting reserves; Federal and State grants and assistance would be recognized when earned, not when awarded; and inventories would not be reflected as expenditures at the time of purchase, investments would generally be stated at fair value, fixed assets purchased by the Sewer Utility Capital Fund would be depreciated, and the Township's net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows would be recorded.
The cash basis of accounting is followed in the Trust Funds.
D. Deferred Charges to Future Taxation
The General Capital Fund balance sheet includes both funded and unfunded deferred charges. Funded deferred charges represent improvement authorizations where permanent financing has been obtained. Unfunded deferred charges represent improvement authorizations where no or temporary financing has been obtained. A municipality can permanently finance unfunded deferred charges through budget appropriation, grant funds, or by issuing bonds, loans or capital lease purchase agreements.
E. Other significant accounting policies include:
Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenditures/expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Amounts include petty cash, change funds, amounts on deposit, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Investments - Investments are stated a cost.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts - No allowance for uncollectible accounts has been recorded as all amounts are considered collectible.
Compensated Absences - Expenditures relating to unused vested accumulated vacation and sick pay are not recorded until paid.
Foreclosed Property - Foreclosed property is recorded in the Current Fund at the assessed valuation when such property was acquired, and is fully reserved.
Interfunds - Interfund receivables in the Current Fund are recorded with offsetting reserves which are created by charges to operations. Income is recognized in the year the receivables are liquidated. Interfund receivables in the other funds are not offset by reserves.

E. Other significant accounting policies include (Cont'd):

Inventories of Supplies - The cost of inventories of supplies for all funds are recorded as expenditures at the time individual items are purchased. The cost of inventories is not included on the various balance sheets.
Grants Receivable - Grants receivable represent the total grant awards less amounts collected to date. Because the amount of grant funds to be collected are dependent on the total costs eligible for reimbursement, the actual amount collected may be less than the total amount awarded.
General Fixed Assets- In accordance with New Jersey Administrative Code accounting requirements, as promulgated by the Division of Local Government Services, the Town has developed a fixed assets accounting and reporting system based on the following:
General fixed assets are recorded at historical cost as estimated by the independent appraisal company which conducted the inventory of the Township's assets in 2017. Infrastructure assets are not included in general fixed assets, as per state directive. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the asset accounts; maintenance and minor repairs and replacements, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed currently. Donated fixed assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. No depreciation has been provided for on general fixed assets. The total value recorded for general fixed assets is offset by a reserve. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and the reserve are adjusted accordingly. Assets recorded in the general fixed assets account group may also be recorded in the current fund, general capital fund and sewer utility fund. The values recorded in the general fixed assets account group, the current fund, the general capital fund and sewer utility fund may not always agree due to differences in valuation methods, timing of recognition of assets, and the recognition of infrastructures. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment.
Property and equipment purchased by the Utility Fund are recorded in the capital account at cost and are adjusted for disposition and abandonment. The amounts shown do not purport to represent replacement costs or current value. Contributions in aid of construction are not capitalized. The balances in the Reserve for Amortization and Deferred Reserve for Amortization accounts in the Utility Capital Fund represent charges to operations for the costs of acquisitions of property, equipment and improvements. The Utility Fund do not record depreciation on fixed assets.
F. Budget/Budgetary Control - Annual appropriated budgets are usually prepared in the first quarter for the Current, Open Space Trust and Sewer Utility Operating Funds. The budgets are submitted to the governing body and the Division of Local Government Services. Budgets are prepared using the cash basis of accounting. The legal level of budgetary control is established at the line item accounts within each fund. Line item accounts are defined as the lowest (most specific) level of detail as established pursuant to the flexible chart of accounts referenced in N.J.S.A. 40A. All budget amendments/transfers must be approved by the Township during the year.
Note 2: Long-Term Debt

The Local Bond Law governs the issuance of bonds and notes to finance general Township capital expenditures. All bonds are retired in serial installments within the statutory period of usefulness. All bonds and notes issued by the Township are general obligation bonds and notes. The Township's full faith and credit and taxing power have been pledged to the payment of the general obligation debt principal and interest.

Service retirement benefits of 1/551h of final average salary for each year of service credit is available to Tiers 1 and 2 members upon reaching age 60 and to Tier 3 members upon reaching age 62. Service retirement benefits of 1/60th of final average salary for each year of service credit is available to Tier 4 members upon reaching age 62 and to Tier 5 members upon reaching age 65. Early retirement benefits are available to Tiers 1 and 2 members before reaching age 60, to Tiers 3 and 4 before age 62 with 25 or more years of service credit and Tier 5 with 30 or more years of service credit before age 65. Benefits are reduced by a fraction of a percent for each month that a member retires prior to the age at which a member can receive full early retirement benefits in accordance with their respective tier. Tier 1 members can receive an unreduced benefit from age 55 to age 60 if they have at least 25 years of service. Deferred retirement is available to members who have at least 10 years of service credit and have not reached the service retirement age for the respective tier.
Contributions
The contribution policy for PERS is set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A and requires contributions by active members and contributing members. The local employers' contribution amounts are based on an actuarially determined rate which includes the normal cost and unfunded accrued liability. Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 provided an option for local employers of PERS to contribute 50% of the normal and accrued liability contribution amounts certified for payments due in State fiscal year 2009. Such employers will be credited with the full payment and any such amounts will not be included in their unfunded liability. The actuaries will determine the unfunded liability of those retirement systems, by employer, for the reduced normal and accrued liability contributions provided under this law. This unfunded liability will be paid by the employer in level annual payments over a period of 15 years beginning with the payments due in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and will be adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial value of assets. Township contributions to PERS amounted to $34,989 for 2017.
The employee contribution rate was 7.20% effective July 1, 2016 and increased to 7.34% effective July 1, 2017. Subsequent increases after October 1, 2011 are being phased in over 7 years effective on each July 1st to bring the total pension contribution rate to 7 .5% of base salary as of July 1, 2018.
Pension Liabilities and Pension Expense
At December 31, 2016, the Township's liability was $1,166,468 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2016. The Township's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Township's long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating members, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2016, the Township's proportion was 0.011%, which was a decrease of 0.001% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015. The Township has rolled forward the net pension liability to December 31, 2016 with no adjustments. The State of New Jersey Public

Employee's Retirement System (PERS)' valuation cycle is July 1 instead of December 31. The roll forward methodology puts them a year in arrears in terms of valuation. The Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey is permitting municipalities to include the June 30, 2016 pension information in the Notes to the Financial Statements as the June 30, 2017 pension information has not been released as of the date of this audit.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Township recognized actual pension expense in the amount of $34,989.
Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability for the June 30, 2016 measurement date was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2016. This actuarial valuation used the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation Rate Salary Increases: Through 2026 Thereafter
Investment Rate of Return
3.08%
1.65 - 4.15% based on age 2.65 - 5.15% based on age 7.65%
Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Employee Pre-retirement Mortality Table for male and female active participants. For local employees, mortality tables are set back 2 years for males and 7 years for females. In addition, the tables provide for future improvements in mortality from the base year of 2013 using a generational approach based on the plan actuary's modified MP-2014 projection scale. Post-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Male and Female Mortality Tables (set back 1 year for males and females) for service retirements and beneficiaries of former members and a one year static projection based on mortality improvement Scale AA. In addition, the tables for service retirements and beneficiaries of former members provide for future improvements in mortality from the base year of 2013 using a generational approach based on the plan actuary's modified MP-2014 projection scale. Disability retirement rates used to value disabled retirees were based on the RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table (set back 3 years for males and set forward one year for females).
The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2015 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2014. It is likely that future experience will not exactly conform to these assumptions. To the extent that actual experience deviates from these assumptions, the emerging liabilities may be higher or lower than anticipated. The more the experience deviates, the larger the impact on future financial statements.
Long Term Expected Rate of Return
In accordance with State statute, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.65% at June 30, 2016) is determined by the State Treasurer, after consultation with the Directors of the Division of Investments and Division of Pensions and Benefits, the Board of Trustees and the actuaries. The long-term expected rate of return 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
GREENWICH TOWNSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 (Continued)
Note 5: Pension Plans (Cont'd)
A. Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) (Cont'd)
11
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 by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in PERS' target asset allocation as of June 30, 2016 are summarized in the following table:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Cash 5.00% 0.87%
U.S. Treasuries 1.50% 1.74%
Investment Grade Credit 8.00% 1.79%
Mortgages 2.00% 1.67%
High Yield Bonds 2.00% 4.56%
Inflation-Indexed Bonds 1.50% 3.44%
Broad U.S. Equities 26.00% 8.53%
Developed Foreign Equities 13.25% 6.83%
Emerging Market Equities 6.50% 9.95%
Private Equity 9.00% 12.40%
Hedge Funds/ Absolute Return 12.50% 4.68%
Real Estate (Property) 2.00% 6.91%
Commodities 0.50% 5.45%
Global Debt ex. U.S. 5.00% -0.25%
REIT 5.25% 5.63%
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 3.98% as of June 30, 2016. This single blended discount rate was based on the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.65% and a municipal bond rate of 2.85% as of June 30, 2016 based on the Bond Buyer Go 20 Bond Municipal Bond Index which includes tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/ Aa or higher. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made based upon the contribution rate in the most recent fiscal year. The local employers contributed 100% of their actuarially determined contributions. Based on those assumptions, the plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make projected future benefit payments of current plan members through 2034. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to projected benefit payments through 2034, and the municipal bond rate was applied to projected benefit payments after that date in determining the total pension liability.

Service retirement benefits are available at age 55 and are generally determined to be 2% of final compensation for each year of creditable service, as defined, up to 30 years plus 1 % for each year of service in excess of 30 years.
Members may seek special retirement after achieving 25 years of creditable service, in which benefits would equal 65% (tiers 1 and 2 members) and 60% (tier 3 members) of final compensation plus I% for each year of creditable service over 25 years but not to exceed 30 years. Members may elect deferred retirement benefits after achieving ten years of service, in which case benefits would begin at age 55 equal to 2% of final compensation for each year of service.
Contributions
The contribution policy for PFRS is set by N.J.S.A. 43:16A and requires contributions by active members and contributing members. The Local employers' contribution amounts are based on an actuarially determined rate which includes the normal cost and unfunded accrued liability. Chapter 19, P.L. 2009 provided an option for local employers of PFRS to contribute 50% of the normal and accrued liability contribution amounts certified for payments due in State fiscal year 2009. Such employers will be credited with the full payment and any such amounts will not be included in their unfunded liability. The actuaries will determine the unfunded liability of those retirement systems, by employer, for the reduced normal and accrued liability contributions provided under this law. This unfunded liability will be paid by the employer in level annual amounts over a period of 15 years beginning with the payments due in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and will be adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial value of the assets.
Special Funding Situation
Under N.J.S.A. 43:16A-15, local participating employers are responsible for their own contributions based on actuarially determined amounts, except where legislation was passed which legally obligated the State . if certain circumstances occurred. The legislation which legally obligates the State is as follows: Chapter 8, P.L. 2000, Chapter 318, P.L. 2001, Chapter 86, P.L. 2001, Chapter 511, P.L. 1991, Chapter 109, P.L. 1979, Chapter 247, P.L. 1993 and Chapter 201, P.L. 2001. The amounts contributed on behalf of the local participating employers under this legislation is considered to be a special funding situation as defined by GASB Statement No. 68 and the State is treated as a nonemployer contributing entity. The June 30, 2016 State special funding situation net pension liability amount is the accumulated difference between the annual
GREENWICH TOWNSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 (Continued)
Note 5: Pension Plans (Cont'd)

actuarially determined State obligation under the special funding situation and the actual State contribution through the valuation date. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 State special funding situation pension expense is the actuarially determined contribution amount that the State owes for the fiscal year ending June 3 0, 2016. The pension expense is deemed to be a State administrative expense due to the special funding situation. Since the local participating employers do not contribute under this legislation directly to the plan (except for employer specific funded amounts), there is no net pension liability or deferred outflows or inflows to report in the financial statements of the local participating employers related to this legislation. However, the notes to the financial statements of the local participating employers must disclose the portion of the nonemployer contributing entities' total proportionate share of the collective net pension liability that is associated with the local participating employer.
Township contributions to PFRS amounted to $209,448 for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the State of New Jersey contributed $15,790 to the PFRS for normal pension benefits on behalf of the Township, which is less than the contractually required contribution of $52,632.
The employee contributions for PFRS are I 0.00% of employees' annual compensation, as defined.
Pension Liabilities and Pension Expense
At December 31, 2016, the Township's liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability was $4,907, 14 3. The net pension liability was measured as of June 3 0, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2016. The Township's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Township's long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating members, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2016, the Township's proportion was 0.026%, which was an increase of 0.003% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015. The Township has rolled forward the net pension liability to December 31, 2016 with no adjustments. The State of New Jersey Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS)' valuation cycle is July 1 instead of December 31. The roll forward methodology puts them a year in arrears in terms of valuation. The Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey is permitting municipalities to include the June 30, 2016 pension information in the Notes to the Financial Statements as the June 30, 2017 pension information has not been released as of the date of this audit.
Additionally, the State's proportionate share of the net pension liability attributable to the Township is $4,907,143as of June 30, 2016. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015 which was rolled forward to June 30, 2016. The State's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the Township was based on a projection of the Township's long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating members, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2016, the State's proportion was 0.026%, which was an increase of 0.003% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015 which is the same proportion as the Township's.

2.10% - 8.98% based on age 3.10% - 9.98% based on age 7.65%
Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Pre-retirement mortality tables projected thirteen years using Projection Scale BB and then projected on a generational basis using the plan actuary's modified 2014 projection scales. Post-retirement mortality rates for male service retirements and beneficiaries are based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables projected one year using Projection Scale AA and two years using the plan actuary's modified 2014 projection scales, which was further projected on a generational basis using the plan actuary's modified 2014 projection scales. Post-retirement mortality rates for female service retirements and beneficiaries are based on the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Tables projected thirteen years using Projection Scale BB and then two years using the plan actuary's modified 2014 projection scales, which was further projected on a generational basis using the plan actuary's modified 2014 projection scales. Disability retirement rates were based on the special mortality tables used for the period after disability retirement.
The actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2015 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013.

In accordance with State statute, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (7.65% at June 30, 2016) is determined by the State Treasurer, after consultation with the Directors of the Division of Investments and Division of Pensions and Benefits, the Board of Trustees and the actuaries. The long-term expected rate of return 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 by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in PFRS' target asset allocation as of June 30, 2016 are summarized in the following table:

Discount Rate - PFRS
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 5.55% as of June 30, 2016. This single blended discount rate was based on the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 7.65% and a municipal bond rate of 2.85% as of June 30, 2016 based on the Bond Buyer Go 20 Bond Municipal Bond Index which includes tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/ Aa or higher. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers and the nonemployer contributing entity will be made based on the contribution rate in the most recent fiscal year.

State employer contributed 30% of the actuarially determined contributions and the local employees contributed I 00% of their actuarially determined contributions. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's_fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make projected future benefit payments of current plan members through 2050. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to projected benefit payments through 2050, and the municipal bond rate was applied to projected benefit payments after that date in determining the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the Total Net Pension Liability (including the State's proportionate share of the net pension liability attributable to the Township) to Changes in the Discount Rate
The following presents the total net pension liability (including the State's proportionate share of the net pension liability attributable to the Township) as of December 3 I, 20I6 calculated using the discount rate as disclosed above, as well as what the collective net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is I-percentage-point lower or I-percentage-point higher than the current rate:

Note 6: Accrued Sick and Vacation Benefits
The Township has permitted employees to accrue unused vacation and sick pay, which may be taken as time off or paid at a later date at an agreed-upon rate. It is estimated that the current cost of such unpaid compensation would approximate $350,778.34. However, it is expected that the cost of such unpaid compensation would be included in the Township's budget operating expenditures in the year in which it is used.

Note 7: Selected Tax Information
18
Property taxes are levied as of January 1 on property values assessed as of the previous calendar year. The tax levy is divided into two billings. The first billing is an estimate of the current year's levy based on the prior year's taxes. The second billing reflects adjustments to the current year's actual levy. The final tax bill is usually mailed on or before June 14th, along with the first half estimated tax bills for the subsequent year. The first half estimated taxes are divided into two due dates, February 1 and May 1. The final tax bills are also divided into two due dates, August 1 and November 1. A ten-day grace period is usually granted before the taxes are considered delinquent and the imposition of interest charges. A penalty may be assessed for any unpaid taxes in excess of $10,000 at December 31 of the current year. Unpaid taxes of the current year may be placed in lien at a tax sale held after December 10.

Note 8: Cash and Cash Equivalents
19
Cash and cash equivalents include change funds, amounts on deposit, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Investments are stated at cost. The Township classifies certificates of deposit which have original maturity dates of more than three months but less than twelve months from the date of purchase, as investments.
GASB requires disclosure of the level of custodial credit risk assumed by the Township in its cash, cash equivalents and investments, if those items are uninsured or unregistered. Custodial risk is the risk that in the event of bank failure, the government's deposits may not be returned.
Interest Rate Risk - In accordance with its cash management plan, the Township ensures that any deposit or investments matures within the time period that approximates the prospective need for the funds, deposited or invested, so that there is not a risk to the market value of such deposits or investments.
Credit Risk-The Township limits its investments to those authorized in its cash management plan which are permitted under state statutes as detailed on the following page.
Custodial Credit Risk - The Township's policy with respect to custodial credit risk requires that the Township ensures that Township funds are only deposited in financial institutions in which NJ municipalities are permitted to invest their funds.
Deposits:
New Jersey statutes require that municipalities deposit public funds in public depositories located in New Jersey which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or by any other agency of the United States that insures deposits made in public depositories.
New Jersey statutes require public depositories to maintain collateral for deposits of public funds that exceed insurance limits as follows:
The market value of the collateral must equal 5% of the average daily balance of collected public funds on deposit, and
In addition to the above collateral requirement, if the public funds deposited exceed 75% of the capital funds of the depository, the depository must provide collateral having a market value at least equal to 100% of the amount exceeding 75%
All collateral must be deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board or a banking institution that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and has capital funds of not less than $25,000,000.

The interfund receivable in the Sewer Utility Operating Fund due from the Sewer Utility Capital Fund represents amounts paid through Sewer Utility Operating Fund on behalf of the Sewer Utility Capital Fund which were not transferred to the Sewer Utility Operating Fund by December 31.
Note 11: Contingent Liabilities
The Township is periodically involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including claims for property damage, personal injury, and various contract disputes. The Township vigorously contests these lawsuits and believes the ultimate resolution would not have a material adverse effect on their financial position. The Township is aware of a potential liability of approximately $300,000 due to pending tax appeals which may be a liability in the 2018 year. The Township plans on funding these appeals during 2018 in the event that they are realized.
Amounts received or receivable from grantors, principally the federal and state governments are subject to regulatory requirements and adjustments by the agencies. Any disallowed claims, including amounts previously recognized by the Township as revenue, would constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantors cannot be determined at this time, although Township officials expect any such amounts would be immaterial.
Note 12: Economic Dependency
Greenwich Township receives a substantial amount of support from federal and state governments. A significant reduction in the level of support, if this were to occur, may have an effect on the Township's programs and activities.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards (the "Schedules") includes the federal and state grant activity of Greenwich Township under programs of the federal and state governments for the year ended December 31, 2017. The information in these schedules is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance") and New Jersey's OMB Circular 15-08, Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid Because the schedules present only a selected portion of the operations of the Township, they are not intended to and do not present the financial position, changes in fund balance or cash flows of the Township.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Expenditures reported on the accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts, if any, shown on the Schedules represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Pass-through identifying numbers are presented where available. The Township has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
RELATIONSHIP TO FEDERAL AND STATE FINANCIAL REPORTS
Amounts reported in the accompanying schedules agree with the amounts reported in the related federal and state financial reports.

and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Township Committee Greenwich Township Stewartsville, New Jersey
Independent Auditors' Report
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, audit requirements prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey ("the Division"), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements - regulatory basis - of the various funds of Greenwich Township, in Warren County (the "Township") as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 26, 2018. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division to demonstrate compliance with the Division's regulatory basis of accounting, and the budget laws of New Jersey, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. That report contained a qualified opinion on the financial statements as the amount that should be recorded in the general fixed assets account group as of December 31, 2016 could not be determined.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Township's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Township's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Township's internal control.
A deficiency 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 a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Township's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, 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 the internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weakness or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. We did identify a certain deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses as Findings 2017-01, which we consider to be a significant deficiency.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Township's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
The Township's Response to the Finding
The Township's response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses. The Township's response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
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 result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Township's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Township's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

GREENWICH TOWNSHIP SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
Summary of Auditors' Results:
6
The Independent Auditors' Report expresses a qualified opm10n on the Township's financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey to demonstrate compliance with the Division's regulatory basis of accounting and the budget laws of New Jersey, as the amount that should be recorded in the general fixed assets account group could not be determined.
A significant deficiency disclosed during the audit of the financial statements as of December 31, 2016 is reported in the Independent Auditors ' Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards. No material weaknesses are reported.
No instances of noncompliance material to the financial statements of the Township which would be required to be reported in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, were disclosed during the audit.
The Township was not subject to the single audit provisions of the Uniform Guidance and New Jersey's OMB Circular 15-08 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as both state and federal grant expenditures were less than the single audit thresholds of $750,000 identified in the Uniform Guidance and New Jersey's OMB Circular 15-08.
Findings Relating to the Financial Statements which are required to be Reported in Accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards:
The audit disclosed the following significant deficiency required to be reported under Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards:
Finding 2017-01
Segregation of Duties
Criteria
Concentration of duties and responsibilities m a limited number of individuals 1s not desirable from a control point of view.
Condition
The Township does not maintain an adequate segregation of duties with respect to the recording and treasury functions. The various departments and offices of the Township are responsible for the issuance of permits and licenses; collection of taxes, and permit and license fees; and recording of these collections. Also, the reconciliation of the bank accounts, the disbursement of funds, and the preparation of the general ledger are all performed by the Chief Financial Officer.
Cause
This is due, in part, to the limited number of personnel of the Township and the decentralized nature of governmental collection procedures.
Effect or Potential Effect
Segregation of duties refers to separating those functions that place too much control over a transaction or class of transactions that would enable a person to perpetuate errors and prevent detection within a reasonable period of time.

COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
GREENWICH TOWNSHIP COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Contracts and Agreements Required to be Advertised for N.J.S.A. 40A:l 1-4
N.J.S. 40A:l 1-3 states:
9
a. " When the cost or price of any contract awarded by the contracting agent in the aggregate does not exceed in a contract year the total sum of $17 ,500, the contract may be awarded by a purchasing agent when so authorized by ordinance or resolution, as appropriate to the contracting unit, of the governing body of the contracting unit without public advertising for bids, except that the governing body of any contracting unit may adopt an ordinance or resolution to set a lower threshold for the receipt of public bids or the solicitation of competitive quotations. If the purchasing agent is qualified pursuant to subsection b. of section 9 of P .L. 1971, c.198 (C.40A:ll-9), the governing body of the contracting unit may establish that the bid threshold may be up to $25,000. Such authorization may be granted for each contract or by a general delegation of the power to negotiate and award such contracts pursuant to this section.
b. Any contract made pursuant to this section may be awarded for a period of 24 consecutive months, except that contracts for professional services pursuant to subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section 5 of P.L. 1971, c.198 (C.40A: 11-5) may be awarded for a period not exceeding 12 consecutive months. The Division of Local Government Services shall adopt and promulgate rules and regulations concerning the methods of accounting for all contracts that do not coincide with the contracting unit's fiscal year.
c. The Governor, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, shall, no later than March 1 of every fifth year beginning in the fifth year after the year in which P .L.1999 c.440 takes effect, adjust the threshold amount and the higher threshold amount which the governing body is permitted to establish, as set forth in subsection a. of this section, or the threshold amount resulting from any adjustment under this subsection, in direct proportion to the rise or fall of the index rate as that term is defined in section 2 of P .L.1971, c.198 (C.40Al 1-2), and shall round the adjustment to the nearest $1,000. The Governor shall, no later than June 1 of every fifth year, notify each governing body of the adjustment. The adjustment shall become effective on July 1 of the year in which it is made."
N.J.S. 40A: 11-4 states: "Every contract awarded by the contracting agent for the provision or performance of any goods or services, the cost of which in the aggregate exceeds the bid threshold, shall be awarded only by resolution of the governing body of the contracting unit to the lowest responsible bidder after public advertising for bids and bidding therefore, except as is provided otherwise in this act or specifically by any other law. The governing body of a contracting unit may, by resolution approved by a majority of the governing body and subject to subsections b. and c. of this section, disqualify a bidder who would otherwise be determined to be the lowest responsible bidder, if the governing body finds that it has had prior negative experience with the bidder."
Effective July 1, 2015 and thereafter the bid threshold in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A: 11-3 is $17 ,500, and with a qualified purchasing agent the threshold may be up to $40,000.
The governing body of Greenwich Township has the responsibility of determining whether the expenditures in any category will exceed the bid threshold within the fiscal year and where question arises as to whether any contract or agreement might result in violation of the statute, the Township Attorney's opinion should be sought before a commitment is made.
GREENWICH TOWNSHIP COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Continued)
Contracts and Agreements Required to be Advertised for N.J.S.A. 40A:l 1-4 (Cont'd)
10
The minutes indicated that bids were requested by public advertising per N.J.S. 40A:l 1-4. The minutes also indicated that resolutions were adopted authorizing the awarding of contracts or agreements for "Professional Services," perN.J.S. 40A:ll-5.
Inasmuch as the system of records did not provide for an accumulation of payments for categories for the performance of any work or the furnishing or hiring of any materials or supplies, the results of such an accumulation could not reasonably be ascertained. Disbursements were reviewed, however, to determine whether any clear-cut violations existed. No exceptions were noted.
Collection oflnterest on Delinquent Taxes, Sewer Rents and Assessments
The statute provides the method for authorizing interest and the maximum rate to be charged for the nonpayment of taxes, sewer rents or assessments on or before the date when they would become delinquent.
On January 3, 2017, the governing body adopted the following resolution authorizing interest to be charged on delinquent taxes and sewer charges:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Committee of Greenwich Township, Warren County, New Jersey, that the rate of interest charges on delinquent taxes and sewer charges in this Township shall be as follows:
On all delinquents to and including December 31, 2017, at the rate or rates heretofore governing, and on all delinquents on and after January 1, 201 7 at the rate of 8% per annum for and upon the first $1,500 of the delinquency, the rate of 18% per annum for and upon any amount of the delinquency in excess of $1,500, and the rate of 6% per annum for and upon any amount in excess of $10,000 at year end; and that a grace period of 10 days will be allowed on taxes and sewer charges due February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. If taxes are not paid by the 10th, interest shall be charged from the due date.
BE IT RESOLVED, that the collector of the Township be and hereby directed to collect interest on all taxes and sewer rents accordingly.
It appears from an examination of the Collector's records that interest was collected in accordance with the foregoing resolution.
Delinquent Taxes and Tax Title Liens
The following comparison is made of the number of tax title liens receivable on December 31, of the last three years:

New Jersey Administrative Code Accounting Requirements
The Division of Local Government Services has established three (3) accounting requirements which are prescribed in the New Jersey Administrative Code. They are as follows:
1. Maintenance of an encumbrance accounting system. 2. Fixed assets accounting and reporting system. 3. General ledger accounting system.
The Township currently complies with these accounting requirements.
Federal and State Grants Fund
There are several grants receivable and unexpended appropriated grant reserve balances in the Federal and State Grant Fund that have not been fully collected or fully expended. Also, there are some grants that now appear to be complete, and the remaining balances should be canceled. It is recommended that the Township investigate all grants receivable and unexpended appropriated grant reserve balances, and cancel any balances determined to no longer be collectable or cancel reserve balances as deemed necessary.

Marriage License Fees
During the course of our audit, it was discovered that amounts being received for marriage licenses which were due to the State of New Jersey were not being sent to the State. It is recommended that marriage license fees due to the State or New Jersey be paid to the State on at least a quarterly basis.
Management's Response
The Township will remit all marriage license fees collected which are due to the State of New Jersey on at least a quarterly basis in the future.
Payroll Agency Account
During the course of our audit, it was found that an analysis of the balance of the Payroll Agency Account is not being maintained. Failure to maintain an analysis of the balance of the Payroll Agency Account makes it impossible to determine that the balance of the account is correct, and that no amounts are due to or from the Current Fund. It is recommended that an analysis of balance for the Payroll Agency Account be prepared on a monthly basis.
Management's Response
The Township will prepare an analysis of the balance of the Payroll Agency Account on a monthly basis.
Clerk Records
GREENWICH TOWNSHIP COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Continued)
13
It was found that although the Clerk did not maintain a cash receipts ledger throughout the year, there was a ledger that was prepared at the end of the year and made available for the audit which only appeared to contain partial information for the actual receipts that the Clerk had for the year. It is recommended that the Clerk maintain a ledger throughout the year and submit the ledger to the Chief Financial Officer on at least monthly basis, and reconcile the activity recorded.
Management's Response
The Clerk's office will prepare and maintain a receipt ledger throughout the year and reconcile turnovers to the records of the CFO on at least a monthly basis.
Status of Prior Year Recommendations
The recommendations from the 2016 audit concerning old grants receivable and appropriated grant reserve balances, property tax sale procedures, a fixed asset accounting and recording system being implemented, and timely deposit of tax receipts were resolved in the current year and are not included in the current year's audit report. The recommendations from the 2016 audit concerning an adequate segregation of duties, marriage license fees being remitted to the State of New Jersey, and the preparation of an analysis of the Payroll Agency account balance were not resolved and are included in the current year's audit report.
It is recommended that:
