The Denver Employees Retirement Plan (DERP) released the 2020 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report—or ACFR—for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The purpose of the report is to provide a clear accounting of DERP’s operations and financial position.

The 2020 report shows the DERP pension benefit fund continues to be in a healthy financial position relative to our peer group of other public pension funds nationally.

The City and County of Denver’s Revised Municipal Code requires an annual audit of DERP’s trust fund by an independent licensed certified public accountant. This year’s audit was conducted by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP.

DERP has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for 31 consecutive years. We believe the 2020 report will meet the Certificate of Achievement requirements and have submitted it to GFOA.

The 2020 report is available in the About/Financial Reports page.
