The Public School System received a clean audit for fiscal year 2018.<\/p>\n
It was learned during Tuesday\u2019s Board of Education meeting on Capital Hill that accounting firm Burger & Comer gave PSS\u2019 books an \u201cunqualified audit opinion,\u201d which means that the financial statements are a true and accurate representation of the fiscal year. <\/p>\n
Auditor Dave Burger stated in his presentation that a lot of testings occurred, which determined no questions for PSS\u2019 costs.<\/p>\n
Although there were a few deficiencies such as missing signatures on timecards, Burger said that PSS has resolved majority of the audit findings. \u201cWe\u2019re doing a better job in monitoring these particular findings to ensure that it\u2019s not a repeated finding,\u201d said Education Commissioner Glenn Muna. <\/p>\n
Burger agreed that PSS \u201ctook the steps necessary to resolve all the conditions.\u201d <\/p>\n
PSS has received a clean audit for more than three years. The staff ensures compliance with regulations and showed no \u201cmaterial weaknesses.\u201d <\/p>\n
The latest audit means PSS continues to have a \u201clow risk\u201d status, which shows that they are responsible for the money made available to them.<\/p>\n
Board of Education chair MaryLou Ada expressed gratitude to PSS employees and Muna \u201cwho worked hard to continually display such exceptional professionalism in what they do. We say to them, \u2018thank you for a job well done!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
