Auditor General DePasquale Releases Audits for School Entities in Seven Counties
HARRISBURG (Aug. 29, 2019) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today announced the release of audit reports for school districts in Allegheny, Beaver, Clarion and Washington counties; intermediate units in Lancaster, Montgomery and Schuylkill counties; and career and technology centers in Allegheny and Schuylkill 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 examines the records of school districts, charter schools, intermediate units, and area vocational-technical schools. The audit 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.
