Independent audit finds one material weakness; board accepts 2024–25 audit

Prattsburgh Central School District Board of Education · September 16, 2025

Summary

An external auditor told the board the 2024–25 audit "went very smoothly" but identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to adjusting journal entries; the board accepted the audit report.

Rhiannon Carnahan of BWB presented the district's external audit for the 2024–25 fiscal year and reported that "the audit went very smoothly. There was one matter involving the internal control over financial reporting and it’s operation that was considered to be a material weakness (adjusting journal entries). There were no instances of noncompliance."

Following the presentation, the audit committee and later the full board moved to accept the audit report. Stephanie Randall moved that the audit committee accept the external audit report and recommend it for approval by the full board; Joseph Castrechino seconded and the motion "was carried by all members present." The full board later accepted the audit committee's recommendation during the regular meeting.

The transcript records the finding of a material weakness tied to adjusting journal entries but does not include detailed management responses, corrective-action plans, or dollar figures associated with the adjustment. The board's motions to accept the audit report carried without recorded dissent.
