Finding #2023-001 – Material Audit Adjustments
Condition: The auditors proposed audit adjustments that, if not made, would have resulted in the financial statements being materially misstated.
Effect: The District’s system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the financial statements. Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the District’s financial position or activities. Not reconciling accounts on a timely basis could lead to errors or other problems not being recognized and resolved.
Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to correct various transactions
Criteria: Proper financial closing and year-end reconciliation procedures should be in place to identify and adjust the financial records to ensure the financial statements are fairly stated.
Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded and reconciled in a timely manner.
Response: The District acknowledges their responsibility for the financial statements and recording of the current year activity. Going forward, the District will verify that all activity is completely and accurately recorded in the financial records and reflected on the financial statements.
