Summary

District auditors told the board the financial statements present fairly and that federal and state compliance audits — including a review of the special education program — found material compliance in all required areas.

Representatives of the district's external audit team presented their findings to the board, summarizing three deliverables: the financial-statement audit (an opinion that the statements “present fairly in all material respects”), the federal single-audit for compliance with conditions of federal awards, and the state compliance audit performed under the Utah State Auditor’s audit guide.

The auditor told the board the special education program audit resulted in an opinion that the district “complied in all material respects with the compliance requirements related to your special education program.” The presenter also thanked district management for establishing a tone of control that supports fiscal responsibility.

Addressing the board's light-hearted appreciation, the auditor described the engagement as “a very boring report from an auditor, but that's what you want,” underscoring that a lack of material findings is a positive outcome for district stewardship of public funds.

Board members offered thanks and noted the importance of checks and balances for stewardship of taxpayer dollars. The audit will be the basis for routine reporting and any follow-up required by state or federal audit offices.
