North Brunswick board accepts unmodified audit for fiscal 2024; business office praised
Summary
The board accepted an unmodified (clean) audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, with auditors reporting no recommendations. Board members publicly thanked the business office; the board approved related consent items and minutes by roll call.
The North Brunswick Township Board of Education voted Jan. 29 to accept the district’s annual comprehensive financial report and the auditors’ management report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
Samuel Klein & Company reported an unmodified opinion on the financial statements, saying the district’s general ledger, revenue reports and bank reconciliations presented fairly and that sampled payroll and expenditures were properly documented and compliant with the Public School Contracts Law. The auditor told the board the electronic filing was submitted before the Jan. 15 due date and that no audit comments were necessary.
"We're happy to report that we have an unmodified — previously known as a clean — opinion on the records that were presented to us," the district's auditor said during the presentation.
Board members thanked the business office and support staff for timely preparation and thorough records. Following the presentation, the board opened a public comment period on the audit; no members of the public spoke. Mr. Lori moved to accept the annual comprehensive financial report and the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all listed members recorded as yes.
Separately, the board approved regular and executive meeting minutes from Dec. 18, 2024, the Jan. 7, 2025 reorganization meeting and Jan. 9, 2025 retreat minutes. The board also approved a consent agenda of personnel, curriculum and finance items during the same session.
The board’s acceptance of the audit means no corrective action plan was required because auditors found no reportable deficiencies. The board and administration said the clean opinion reflects established internal procedures and staff oversight. The meeting moved on to committee reports and a public discussion of a separate facilities referendum scheduled for March 11.
