Policy committee advances minor edits shifting audit oversight back to PDE
Summary
Committee members reviewed edits to policy 619 noting the responsibility for certain audits will move from the state auditor general's office to the Pennsylvania Department of Education; the district will continue its annual local audit and required AFR upload with no expected change in reporting duties.
Miss Green told the committee that policy 619 has been updated to reflect a state‑level administrative change: responsibility for some audit oversight will shift from the Pennsylvania auditor general's office back to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
She said the district will continue to contract an independent CPA firm for the annual local audit, and that the district is required to upload the Annual Financial Report (AFR) to the Department of Education, with an AFR submission due by Oct. 31 and a target audit issuance by Dec. 31.
Committee members asked whether the change would alter local reporting requirements; Miss Green and staff said they expect no change in the district's obligations and described the shift as intended to reduce redundancy between state and local auditing functions.
Committee members agreed to advance the revised language as a single reading to the board.
