Auditor General DePasquale Releases Audits for School Entities in Four Counties
HARRISBURG (May 22, 2019) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today announced the release of audit reports for a technical school in Venango County and school districts in Allegheny, Schuylkill, and Washington counties.
“My audits help ensure schools are being run efficiently and effectively, so that students and teachers can focus on learning and resources are focused on the classroom,” DePasquale said.
The Department of the Auditor General audits school districts, charter schools, intermediate units, and area vocational-technical schools. The assessments include whether school entities received the state subsidies and reimbursements to which they were entitled, accurately managed taxpayer funds, and complied with ethics codes. The audits also determine whether teachers and administrators were properly certified for the positions they held during the audit period.
The full audit reports are available online using the links provided below. Learn more about the Department of the Auditor General at www.paauditor.gov.
