Annual External Financial Audit


Week 4 Part 5 Comment
The Annual External Financial Audit is a way to involve all of the stakeholders in the district. It also keeps the financial side of the district very transparent. The auditors are used as a nonpartisan entity to make sure the school district is maintaining financial responsibility with the tax payers’ money. These audits can also help a district identify any areas of weakness or concern that may have been overlooked. With all of the laws and regulation that a school district is faced with it is nice to have an extra set of eyes looking over things. It provides a good check and balance system for a school district. I would hate to see school districts operate without an annual audit.
