Background:
|
1. Annually, the Board of School Directors adopts an Annual Plan of Audits which identifies audit activities that the Office of Accountability and Efficiency-Audit Services will conduct during the ensuing fiscal year.
2. After the initiated and required audits have been determined, the next step in developing the annual audit plan involves utilizing the results of the District Risk Assessment. Audit Services staff also review Board's proceedings to identify possible audit topics. These audit topics then serve as the basis for drafting the annual audit plan, which provides information on possible audits and anticipated resources required to complete each audit.
3. The proposed FY25 Annual Plan of Audits and District Risk Assessment have been completed and submitted for the Board's review and approval. The plan includes initiated, required and proposed audits. Included with the recommendation is a summary of available days which identifies estimated resource requirements for each audit and shows how available days will be used to support the audit plan.
4. The proposed FY25 Annual Plan of Audits includes audit activities for the Board-approved Audit Services areas, including external audit monitoring and communications to the Board, departmental and program audits, fraud investigations and other reviews, including external audit reviews, and school audits with corresponding days. This year's FY25 Annual Audit Plan includes both cyclic and non-cyclic departmental and program audits. Cyclic departmental and program audits will be scheduled on a recurring basis in high risk/high-impact areas such as accounts payable, payroll, financial reporting, IT Security, among others. Other program evaluations include reviews of district bilingual programs, FMS billing processes, a follow up review of MPSU program recommendations.
5. Per Board Governance Policy 2.12, Board Audits: Annual Plan and Coordination, audits not ordered in the Audit Plan, but later determined to have major implications to the District, require the Board's approval to amend the annual plan of audits. This policy also provides for the Senior Director of the Office of Accountability and Efficiency to have the authority to approve critical and emergency audits during the year. |
