North Merrick audit: district receives unmodified opinion, no findings
Summary
Auditors told the North Merrick board the district earned an unmodified opinion and the audit found no internal-control deficiencies; presenters highlighted steady reserves and thanked district staff for facilitating the review.
Auditors told the North Merrick Union Free School District board that the district received an unmodified opinion on its financial statements, which the presenter described as "the best opinion you can get as a school district." The auditor also reported no findings on internal controls.
The presenter said the audit team "did not have any difficulties in the audit" and that minor audit adjustments were not material. The presenter praised Marie Donnelly and her team for their work preparing records and facilitating the audit, saying she "was great helping us with getting all the information for the audit." The board was shown slides summarizing required communications, estimates used in the financial statements and the overall audit approach.
The presenter emphasized the district's internal controls and business office operations as strong and noted that, among the 42 districts the auditor reviews, only one other district reached the same position of not using fund balance to cover operations. The board did not take formal action during the auditor's presentation; the session was an informational report to the public.
