External auditors give Manheim Township School District a clean opinion for FY 2024'25
Summary
External auditors from Boyer & Ritter reported a clean (unmodified) opinion on the district's FY 06/30/2025 financial statements, found no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control, and noted a one-time restatement tied to a new compensated-absences accounting standard.
Boyer & Ritter's principal auditor reviewed the Manheim Township School District's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025, and reported an unmodified (clean) opinion on the district's financial statements.
Matt Willison, the principal responsible for the audit, told the board the engagement examined the district's general, capital, food service and other funds and reviewed internal controls around journal entries and financial-statement preparation. He said there were "no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies" identified and noted the audit included federal-program compliance work (the auditors reviewed the school lunch program during their compliance testing).
Willison also noted the district implemented a new accounting standard for compensated absences that required restating the financial statements; the change generally increased reported liabilities but was consistent with new accounting guidance.
Why it matters: A clean opinion demonstrates that the district's financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the auditors did not find material control failures. The audit also supports the district's compliance filings required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and federal-award reporting.
The board did not take a vote on the audit at the meeting; auditors presented the draft statements and the required communications for the board's subsequent action at a future meeting.
