Auditor gives Susquehanna Township School District an unmodified opinion; Title I and IDEA singled out in single‑audit
Summary
Independent auditors Breuer Ritter presented the district's financial statements and issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. Because the district spent roughly $6.5 million in federal awards, the audit included a single‑audit review; Title I and IDEA were tested as major programs comprising about 20% of expenditures.
An auditor from Breuer Ritter told the Susquehanna Township School District board the 2024 financial statements received an unmodified (clean) opinion, and the district also completed the single‑audit work required because it spent federal awards above the single‑audit threshold.
Auditor's summary
The auditor said the independent auditors' report appears at the front of the financial statements and that Breuer Ritter issued an unmodified opinion on the district's financial statements. The auditor told the board the firm conducts its work under generally accepted auditing standards in the United States and the Government Auditing Standards; the firm also issues a separate report on internal control over financial reporting and an independent report on compliance for major federal programs.
Federal programs and single‑audit
The auditor reported the district expended roughly $6,500,000 in federal funds during the year, which necessitated single‑audit procedures because it exceeded the single‑audit threshold (discussed in the presentation as $750,000). The programs selected for major‑program testing in the 2023 term were Title I and IDEA; the auditor said those two programs comprise roughly 20% of the district’s expenditures. The firm expressed an unqualified opinion on compliance for those major programs.
Board reaction and next steps
The auditor congratulated district management and staff on the clean reports. Board members acknowledged the audit and had no substantive follow‑up questions recorded in the meeting transcript.
