OKCPS receives clean FY2025 audit; auditors flag elevated access in finance system
Summary
External auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on OKCPS FY2025 financial statements and found no reportable compliance issues for Title I and special education, while noting elevated access for some individuals in the financial system remains a control issue to monitor during ERP implementation.
OKLAHOMA CITY — External auditors presented the Oklahoma City Public Schools fiscal year 2025 audit at the March 9 board meeting and delivered a clean, unmodified opinion while flagging an internal-control matter for attention.
Clint Everhard, the district’s executive director of finance, introduced Forvis Mazars auditors Robin D'vor and Haley Redwine, who told the board the financial statements were materially correct under generally accepted accounting principles and that they found no reportable compliance items for the federal Title I or special education clusters.
"We did place an unmodified or clean opinion on those financial statements," auditor Robin D'vor said, explaining the firm’s work and conclusions.
The auditors also reviewed internal controls and repeated a previously noted issue around individuals with elevated access in the district’s financial system. While the condition persisted from the prior audit, additional testing found no evidence the access had been misused, and compensating controls appeared to be operating; auditors recommended attention to access rights as the district implements a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
Board member discussion was brief. The board moved to accept the FY2025 audit report, and the motion carried unanimously (7–0).
What it means: A clean audit provides assurance to the board and community about the district’s FY2025 financial statements and federal compliance testing. The elevated-access finding is an internal control item that the auditors recommended the district address, especially during ERP implementation.
