Auditors say they could not find original check from Cook Elementary

Aug 24, 2026

In Procedure 4G auditors reported they were unable to obtain copies or deposit documentation for a Cook Elementary School check written in 2025; management told auditors the original was lost in transit and a replacement was issued, but documentation was not provided to auditors.

The full story

Auditors reported the team could not obtain a listing or copies of checks received from Cook Elementary School during 2025. The draft states the original check was described as "lost in transit" and that a replacement check was written and deposited in early October 2025, but auditors said they did not receive the replacement check or deposit slip and therefore only recorded management’s explanation in the draft.
