Rockland Public Schools cites fourth consecutive audit with no findings for FY24
Summary
District officials told the school committee that the FY24 audit found no findings; the district and town accounting staff were credited for accurate accounting and grant administration.
Rockland Public Schools reported Wednesday that the FY24 audit produced no findings, marking the district’s fourth consecutive audit without findings, district officials told the school committee.
At the meeting, the presenter said the district had submitted the FY25 audit and described the annual audit process: the district compiles all funds—general fund appropriations from town meeting, grants large and small, revolving funds and student-activity accounts—and forwards them to the state, where an independent registered accounting firm performs the audit.
The presenter credited several school and town staff for the result, naming Mary Jo Lipson for accounts payable and grant administration, Betsy Lowe for payroll and human resources components, town treasurer Allison and town accountant Scott Curtis for town-level financial work that supports the schools, and the broader business office team. The presenter said the audit shows “every single dollar that’s in each of those lines is in the right line.”
Committee members congratulated the business office for the work. The transcript does not include the engagement letter, auditor firm name, or any audit management letter details; it does record the district’s representation that appropriate procurement and accounting procedures were followed and that records matched budgeted and expended amounts.
