SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Accept the State of Florida Auditor General’s Report No. 2012-172, Hillsborough County District School Board Financial, Operational, and Federal Single Audit, for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011 (Business Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
District school boards located in Florida are required by Florida law [Section 218.39(1)(d), Florida Statutes] to have an annual "financial audit."  Under the Federal Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, and United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-133, the district school boards are also required to have an annual audit of federal awards.

From February 2011, through February 2012, the Auditor General's Office audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund for the Hillsborough County District School Board as of, and for, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

The Financial, Operational, and Federal Single Audit disclosed that the district’s basic financial statements were fairly presented and there were no deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting considered to be a material weakness.  The results of the Auditor General’s tests disclosed no instances of non-compliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Demonstrate best financial practices
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
When we are audited by the Auditor General's Office, there is not a financial impact to the school district's budget.
