Finding Text

Untimely Reporting Year ended June 30, 2024 Conditions and criteria: The District failed to submit its audited financial statements and annual financial report within the timeline prescribed by Pennsylvania Education Department and the Federal Government. In addition, the District’s data collection form for June 30, 2024 and 2023, was not filed timely. Cause and Effect: The District did not close its books in a timely manner creating delays in scheduling and completing the independent audit. In addition, because financial records were not closed in a timely manner, the District’s annual financial report was delayed which could result in delayed state aid and penalties. Auditor’s Recommendation: The District should develop a plan to close its records at year-end in a manner that will allow it to complete its audit and reporting in a timely manner. School District’s Response: The District realizes its delays in reporting and will ensure that future reporting is filed in a timely manner.
