Auditors give Charles County Public Schools a clean opinion, warn of fund‑balance drawdown and single‑audit timing risks
Summary
External auditors reported an unmodified opinion for CCPS but highlighted a significant drawdown of unassigned fund balance, a payroll accrual calculation error in the prior year, and possible delay to the district's single audit because the federal OMB compliance supplement remains in draft amid the federal shutdown.
External auditors told the Charles County Board of Education on Nov. 4 that they issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the district’s financial statements but flagged several management and reporting items the board should monitor.
The auditors, speaking during the district audit presentation introduced by CFO Karen Acton, said the district met the criteria for a clean opinion and had no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control that required reporting. "I'm happy to report you received an unmodified audit opinion," the auditor said during the presentation.
