Pasco internal audit describes corrective-action process after sample findings; board approves audit report
Summary
The district’s internal audit office described its process for handling findings — principal review, 10‑day response window, corrective action plans and follow‑up — and the board approved item 14.2 after staff answers.
The Pasco County School Board approved the internal audit report (item 14.2) after staff described the district’s corrective-action process for audit findings and confirmed follow‑up procedures.
A board member asked staff how findings and corrective actions were addressed. Deputy Superintendent called internal audit supervisor McGriff, who told the board: “Whenever there is a finding, first of all, before the report is issued, we meet with the school principal and also what we would call the, expert people in that area. And we actually go through the findings and allow them 10 days to respond to any finding we have before it's even in the report. If they agree with the finding, then they give us a corrective action plan. If not, they state their disagreement in any supporting document. Once that report is issued, then we actually follow-up with that plan, allowing for an adequate time for them to respond.”
Why it matters: The board’s vote approved the audit report and the record shows an explicit internal process for pre‑report review, a 10‑day response window, documented corrective-action plans, and follow-up reviews to confirm improvements.
Details: The internal audit supervisor said the audit team meets with the principal and relevant experts before issuing a report, shares draft findings for response, and then follows up after the final report to verify implementation. Board member Beaudoin moved to approve item 14.2; Board member Harding seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.
Ending: The board approved the audit item and staff described an iterative process that includes school-level review, written plans for corrective action, and documented follow-up.
