Dakota CUSD 201 audit scores 3.9 of 4.0; auditor urges improved segregation of duties
Summary
Auditor Jerry Funk told the Dakota CUSD 201 board the district received a 3.9 out of 4.0 financial rating and an improved balance sheet, but recommended stronger segregation of duties given small-district staffing constraints.
Jerry Funk, the district auditor, presented the annual financial audit and said the district’s financial report "received a rating of 3.9 out of 4.0." He told the board the balance sheet as of June 30 showed an increase from last year and described the overall audit as "very clean."
Funk recommended improved segregation of duties to reduce financial-control risk, while acknowledging that achieving full segregation can be challenging in a small district with limited staff. The auditor’s observations were presented as internal control recommendations rather than formal findings requiring corrective action.
Board discussion did not record further motions tied to the audit presentation. The auditor’s rating and the recommendation on duties provide context for forthcoming budget and staffing discussions during the district’s strategic planning process.
