Shepherd ISD board accepts 2024–25 audit with unmodified opinion
Summary
The Shepherd ISD Board approved the annual financial audit for the year ending June 30, 2025, accepting a Whitley Penn LLP report that issued "an unmodified audit opinion" and cited no material weaknesses or instances of noncompliance.
The Shepherd Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved the district's annual financial audit for the year ending June 30, 2025, at its Nov. 20 meeting. CFO J.W. Kirkham presented the audit report from Whitley Penn LLP, saying the firm provided "an unmodified audit opinion," commonly described as a "clean" opinion that the district's financial statements present fairly.
Kirkham told the board the auditors found no material weaknesses, no significant deficiencies, and no instances of noncompliance in the district's major federal and state programs. "A 'clean' audit is the goal," he said, noting the report covers financial statements prepared under Governmental Accounting Standards Board requirements. The board voted to accept the audit on a motion by Member John Few, seconded by Secretary Melodee Arrendell; the motion carried with all members present voting in favor.
The approval completes the district's fiscal-year reporting process for 2024–25 and allows administrators to proceed with required public filings. Whitley Penn LLP's engagement for this audit year was its first completed annual financial audit for Shepherd ISD, according to the presentation.
