Summary
RS Abrams presented a fiscal-year risk assessment update reporting low control risk ratings across reviewed areas but recommending an intensive review of extra classroom activities (class and club accounts); the board was asked to accept the report so auditors may proceed with testing.
Chris Schneider of RS Abrams presented the district's fiscal-year 26 risk assessment update and characterized the overall control risk for reviewed processes as low.
"Long story short, the good things to report are that even though there might be recommendations in this report, we have attributed low control risk ratings to each of the areas that we looked at," Schneider told the board. He said auditors reviewed food service operations, extra classroom activities, information technology and state aid/grant processes (including Medicaid and special education-related processes), and recommended that extra classroom activities be selected as the intensive review cycle for the coming year.
Schneider said the audit team had previously discussed the scope with the audit committee and planned next steps: if the board accepts the report, RS Abrams will proceed with testing the chosen area (class and club accounts) as the cycle review and report back with findings and recommendations. Board members expressed appreciation for the audit process and noted that recommendations can lead to improved controls and planning.
The board recorded receipt of the update; no formal dissent on the auditors' recommendation was recorded at this meeting.
