Board accepts internal-audit report on foundation aid and approves corrective action plan for procurement audit
Summary
The board accepted the 2024-25 internal audit of New York State Foundation Aid and approved the district's corrective action plan responding to the New York State Comptroller's procurement audit; auditors reported no material exceptions and noted minor input errors and training gaps.
The Greece Central School District Board of Education accepted the 2024-25 internal audit of New York State Foundation Aid and approved the district’s corrective action plan addressing findings from a recent New York State Comptroller audit on procurement of professional services.
Tammy Flores, representing the district’s audit committee, said the audit committee met with the external auditor (Mangino Metzger Barr & Co.) and internal auditors (Bonadio and Company). The internal audit verified foundation-aid calculations, performed peer comparisons with other districts and identified only minor input miscalculations that have been corrected; auditors found no material exceptions. The district also reviewed an asbestos audit (AHERA) and noted a training requirement for seasonal staff that the district had already self-identified.
Flores said the corrective action plan responding to the Comptroller’s report (OSC audit 2024 ms-01/1929) includes recommendations to enhance training procedures, standardize documentation for certain RFPs, consider piggybacking on existing contracts when appropriate and conduct cost-benefit analyses on procurements. The district said updates are underway and will be reviewed quarterly by the audit committee.
The board moved to accept the internal-audit report and the district’s responses to the Comptroller’s audit; the motion passed by recorded vote (8-0).
