School Internal Accounts Activity Funds Audit Report for Fiscal Year 2014/2015 (District Auditing Office)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In accordance with the District Audit Plan and State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.087(2), the District Auditing Office has audited the School Activity Funds for Fiscal Year 2014/2015. 

Audits for the 244 school sites with internal accounts were conducted during the 2015/2016 school year. In the opinion of the District Auditing Office, financial and operational management of the School Activity Funds is satisfactory and generally in compliance with statutes, regulations, and School Board policies, with specific exceptions noted. 

Summary of Results:

  • Exemplary audits           99 school sites or 41 percent
  • Satisfactory audits       143 school sites or 59 percent
  • Unsatisfactory audits       2 school sites or less than 1 percent 

Please note: 26 school sites have received an exemplary rating for more than 5 consecutive years. School sites with unsatisfactory ratings submitted a corrective action plan to their Area Superintendent. The majority of unsatisfactory ratings were related to new or inexperienced personnel.   To assist them we have increased training, peer mentoring, Area Superintendent involvement, and a review of personnel assignments were implemented.
