Every year, the State Auditor of Ohio audits more than 5,800 state and local government agencies to ensure Ohioans’ tax dollars are appropriately used. Audit reports are released semi-weekly with those that far exceed reporting standards highlighted for the award.
To earn recognition, a local government or school district is required to meet certain criteria. For one, it must file timely financial reports in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and its audit report must not contain findings for recovery, material weaknesses, deficiencies, and material citations. In addition, its management letter must not contain comments related to ethics referrals, reconciliation, lack of timely report submission, and questioned costs less than $10,000.
Speaking after the school district was honored, Mr. Frame said he appreciated the backing the treasurer’s office received from the Board of Education. He also said he would continue working to help teachers and administrators in the district.
