Audit finds travel controls largely working but flags documentation gaps in Savannah‑Chatham County schools
Summary
An internal audit of travel practices found an overall satisfactory rating but identified documentation and coding deficiencies in a sample of transactions; audit staff recommended stronger pre‑approval checks, a standard checklist and targeted training. The committee’s recorded vote on the audit is inconsistent in the transcript.
The Savannah Chatham County Public School Audit Committee on April 23 heard that an internal review of employee travel practices received an overall “satisfactory” rating but exposed gaps in documentation and coding that limit transparency and oversight.
The audit presenter told the committee the review had four objectives: determine compliance with district, state and federal travel requirements; verify reimbursements were properly documented and reported; assess whether the district selects economical travel options; and evaluate whether travel monitoring measures produce measurable outcomes. “For this audit, there it was a satisfactory rating overall,” the audit presenter said.
