The Board of Education requires, after the close of the fiscal year (June 30th), that an audit of all accounts of the District be made annually by an independent, certified public accountant or the State Auditor's Office. The audit examination shall be conducted in accordance with generally-accepted auditing standards and shall include all funds over which the Board has direct or supervisory control.

The Treasurer shall also prepare and publish an audited statement of the financial condition of the District for each fiscal year within ten (10) days of receipt of the released audit report from the Auditor of State.

In the event an audit indicates a finding for recovery related to the improper spending of District funds or the conversion of District funds or assets for personal use, the finding for recovery should be made directly against the employee who improperly spent the District funds or converted the District funds or assets for personal use. This provision includes, but is not limited to, employees that fail to be properly licensed and accept compensation in violation of State law, employees that accept compensation from falsified pay documents, and employees that accept compensation known to be in error and do not timely report for correction.
