EGCSD Implements Recommendations of State Audit - Posted July 8, 2008
In 2005, the State Comptroller initiated a Five-Point Plan that included new fraud prevention and accountability rules for schools. Additionally, state law requires that all public school districts and BOCES be audited by the Comptroller’s Office within five years. The purpose of the audit is to inform districts about areas where they may be at-risk and provide recommendations for improved business practices.
The East Greenbush Central School District recently received its final report from the New York State Comptroller’s Office summarizing the findings of an audit of the School District’s fiscal operations from July 1, 2006 through November 30, 2007.
