NYSRPS Financial Update:
The 2015-2016 annual audit was performed in July of 2016 by Stark & Basila Certified Public Accountants, P.C. NYSRPS Treasurer Nathan Nagle presented findings to the NYSRPS Board at the August 18th meeting. While NYSRPS ended the fiscal year at a deficit ($3, 058), significant gains were experienced greatly reducing the deficits experienced the past two years ($38,504) in 2014 and (39,611) in 2013.
I am very pleased in the progress NYSRPS has made in a relatively short period of time and feel confident with the Board we will be able to lead the Society in a very positive financial direction for 2016-2017.
