CalSTRS compliance · built on 787 real audits
5 out of 6 California districts get findings in their CalSTRS audit. Yours doesn't have to.
In a CalSTRS audit, the median district faces $5,885 in corrections and 60 days to fix 3–5 years of reporting. Irys checks your numbers against 1,612 real audit findings and shows you what CalSTRS would catch — before they arrive.
Risk profiles built from 787 CalSTRS employer audit reports — 1,612 findings across 661 districts in 16 California counties. Public record, obtained via PRA 2131.

CalSTRS samples just 3–4 members per audit. Your full exposure scales with your whole membership — that's the gap this shows.

/ 03 · The problem
The audit you haven't had yet already has your number.
Your district prepares CalSTRS reports the way it always has, and assumes they're correct — because no one has said otherwise. Across 787 audits, 83.4% of districts were told otherwise. A clean history doesn't mean clean reporting; it means you haven't been checked yet.
When findings arrive, CalSTRS gives you 60 days to review 3–5 school years, identify every affected member, and submit corrections — 80 to 200 hours of unplanned work. One finding cascades: 3+ findings carry a median realized loss of $12,224, 3.9× a single finding.
And the audit only samples 3–4 members. If the error is systemic, a 500-member district's median projected exposure is $1.2 million — the part of the iceberg the sample never shows.
Irys catches what CalSTRS would catch, before they arrive — so corrections happen on your timeline, not under a 60-day mandate. The same analysis, framed for your role.
