Approve School Activity Fund Indebtedness for Fiscal Year End June 30, 2008, to be Carried Over into the Upcoming School Year (District Auditing Office)

The Department of Education’s Financial and Program Cost Reporting for Florida Schools (The Red Book) Policy 7-11.7 requires that the School Board approve fiscal year-end indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2008, the schools reported indebtedness to vendors in the amount of $72,481, detailed on the attached listing. This indebtedness arises primarily due to the timing of vendor invoicing and the cessation of normal bookkeeping activity during the summer months. As part of standard audit procedures, the District Auditing Office will verify that all indebtedness carried over into the new fiscal year be paid in a prompt manner and in accordance with School Board policies. Conversely, all indebtedness reported last year was paid and reviewed for compliance with School Board policies.

To promote sound fiscal stewardship of public funds.

This report was prepared as part of the District’s Board-approved Annual Audit plan and is budgeted as part of the District Auditing Office’s General Fund budget.
