C17 - 2016-2017 Clay County District School Board Financial Audit
Pursuant to 1010.30 F.S., school districts are required to have an annual financial, operational and single audit of the district school board. For the 2016-2017, the school district engaged the independent auditing firm Purvis Gray to conduct the annual finanical and single audit. At the conclusion of the site review, there were a total of four findings. Two of the findings were repeat findings. Corrective actions to address the findings are included in the report.
The audit is a public document and will be made available on the District's website located at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8GyArN5jF-_THVETUJnTHhkdlU. The audit becomes part of the public record for the financial records of the School Board, which are maintained under the direction of the Superintendent, with the approval of the Board.
The objectives of the operational audit are to evaluate management’s performance in establishing and maintaining internal controls, including controls designed to prevent and detect fraud, waste and abuse. The objectives also include the examination of internal controls in the categories of compliance, economic and efficient operations, reliability of records and reports, and the safeguarding of assets.
