1 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,640 Thank 2 00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:47,840 you, everyone, thank you for having me tonight. As mentioned, I'm just going to hit some highlights here. More about the process of the audit. Sometimes whenever we look at the audit, really, the audit itself, the financial statements. It's really the responsibility of management for all of that with, as mentioned, the different entities we work with. 3 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,140 But sometimes it's looked at differently if we're working with a small nonprofit or small 4 00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:56,640 municipality versus some of like North Island communities. 5 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,120 So what is our role as your auditor? 6 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,460 So really as your auditor, we work through the board, and our goal at the end of the day 7 00:03:04,460 --> 00:03:07,220 really is to issue an opinion on the financial statements. 8 00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:12,360 So your financial statements, there's both numbers in there, and there's also footnote disclosures 9 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,560 that kind of go into more detail on what those numbers mean. 10 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,620 Whenever we perform that work, we have to do it under generally accepted auditing standards. 11 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,320 And then additionally, because you, as most school districts who work with, 12 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,140 expend more than $750,000 in federal funds. 13 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,040 You also have to undergo what we call a uniform guidance audit or a single audit, 14 00:03:34,420 --> 00:03:39,440 which means we're not just looking at the numbers, but we actually picked one of the federal programs 15 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,400 for which you expend money, and we have to do compliance testing as well. 16 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,140 And we do that. We follow government auditing standards, which requires us and the staff at 17 00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:53,520 our firm to undergo more training specific to auditing governance. And then we follow 18 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,620 those federal guidelines as well. So really, the goal of the audit is not just that financial 19 00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:07,180 statement opinion, but also an opinion on your compliance. What else do we do? When we come 20 00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:15,280 in every set of financial statements really has significant estimates, disclosures, and 21 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,300 then each year you look at your accounting policies and you'll see up there, GASB 96. 22 00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:24,660 The GASB is the government accounting standards for their who sets forth what your financials 23 00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:25,700 are supposed to look like. 24 00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:31,480 In the current year, you adopted this new standard along with all the other school districts 25 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,300 in Pennsylvania. And basically what it did was lay out some rules for if you have any 26 00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,240 subscription-based technology agreements, meaning if you have any long-term agreements 27 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,220 if you're in the for-profit or non-profit world, there's a version of this related to 28 00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:50,700 leases over the past couple of years. It's been a very big deal to basically put everything 29 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,640 on the balance sheet and verse it up. We did look at that you adopted that policy this year. 30 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:01,220 In addition, we always get good cooperation from management and staff. 31 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,520 When we come in here, your team is ready. 32 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,220 We always wrap up the audit in a timely basis. 33 00:05:08,780 --> 00:05:13,960 And I will say, especially over the past couple of years with the stressors of COVID, or 34 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,820 sometimes, depending on the district we're working with, the business manager sometimes is part 35 00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:26,140 time HR, part time, something in the cafeteria. There has been both school districts and 36 00:05:26,140 --> 00:05:31,400 most of our governmental audits, a lot more delayed audits, audits that are here behind. 37 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,900 So staying the course and staying on schedule like you always have been seems kind of mundane 38 00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:44,420 if you will, but actually it's becoming less and less common just with everyone's stress 39 00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:49,960 more than. So I'm happy to report that and that really nothing's changed here 40 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,080 from a couple of years ago. We come here at the information's ready and you 41 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,920 really do take responsibility for your numbers and make sure they're accurate 42 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:03,070 before you hand them over to them. I mentioned accounting estimates. These are just 43 00:06:03,070 --> 00:06:07,010 some big numbers just so you're aware. So within your financial statements you 44 00:06:07,010 --> 00:06:12,270 actually have to report an allocated portion of basically the Peezer's 45 00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:17,790 deficit that is out there. So you can't control that. We get the numbers from the state 46 00:06:17,790 --> 00:06:24,570 and the same when you see OPEB liability as post-employment healthcare benefits is what that is. 47 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:30,870 So those are long-term liability. The state has actuaries calculated basically what your piece 48 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:36,850 of that is that goes on your financial statements. But really those numbers change from year to year. 49 00:06:36,850 --> 00:06:39,290 they're based on expected investment returns, 50 00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:41,270 all those actuarial tables. 51 00:06:42,130 --> 00:06:44,470 So just so you know, those are what we point to 52 00:06:44,470 --> 00:06:46,670 in this section is the biggest estimates 53 00:06:46,670 --> 00:06:48,030 within your financial state. 54 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,960 So what is we doing when we come in here 55 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,860 and do the audit? 56 00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:57,960 Really our objective, like I said, 57 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,000 is the issue that opinion. 58 00:06:59,480 --> 00:06:59,920 We do that. 59 00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:02,640 We come in and you know, most of we start 60 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,560 with where we were last year, 61 00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:07,540 but we obtain process narratives 62 00:07:07,540 --> 00:07:10,980 about how you have your internal control setup. 63 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,900 We do walkthroughs and follow those through the transaction cycle 64 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,980 to make sure the right person is signing off the right thing 65 00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:20,420 and the computer system is allowing something to happen. 66 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,960 We then pick samples. 67 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,700 We usually have samples of 25 or 40, 68 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,600 but for example, we would pick 40 random payroll payments, 69 00:07:30,060 --> 00:07:33,080 make sure those are supported by the union contract or other agreements, 70 00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,900 trace them through the same thing on the disbursement side. 71 00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:40,940 We look at some large disbursements, some credit card disbursements, other disbursements. 72 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,940 Everything we do, we really sample transactionally. 73 00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:49,180 And then on the balance sheet side, we confirm your cash and investment balances to the extent 74 00:07:49,180 --> 00:07:51,920 you have real estate taxes or under-income tax receivable. 75 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,960 We do the same thing, they really confirm those and make sure they're collected after the 76 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:56,480 end of the year. 77 00:07:57,180 --> 00:07:58,300 We read board minutes. 78 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,100 We do all of that in the end to express that opinion on the financials. 79 00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:08,640 Now I mentioned in addition to just your financial numbers, we also have to do compliance work. 80 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,200 So CFA is your schedule of expenditures of federal awards. 81 00:08:12,820 --> 00:08:17,600 You're required to basically compile a list of your federal expenditures for the years, for the year. 82 00:08:18,140 --> 00:08:23,060 And we go through a process and generally tick one of your biggest expenditure programs 83 00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:26,200 and perform detailed testing on that. 84 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,180 That had been the ESSA program over the past couple years for a lot of districts. 85 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,180 this year the way it worked out in a special education funding, so with that we 86 00:08:36,180 --> 00:08:39,340 not only have to test that you spent the money appropriately and for an 87 00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:43,620 eligible purpose, but we also have to test that you have internal controls to 88 00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:48,000 make sure that happens. So one of the toughest things on my side is you spent all 89 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,420 the money correctly, you ended up at the right place, but sometimes you can still 90 00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:56,380 have a finding even if it was all right in the end if something could have gone 91 00:08:56,380 --> 00:08:59,980 wrong, you don't have a control in place to catch it. So it's a pretty high 92 00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:05,120 standard for that I always say whenever we look at these audits it's not 90% as an A it's like 93 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,860 98% is what you need to get the pass grading not have finding. So as a result of that audit then 94 00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:16,420 we also issue two more reports tied in with that similar to the report on the financial statement 95 00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:25,280 as part of the audit package if you will. So I am happy to say before I get into my name we had an 96 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:31,140 I want to fight opinion on the financial statements, which is the best type of opinion you can have, 97 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:38,100 basically saying, we got to the point where we were able to satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the numbers and the disclosures 98 00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,660 and didn't have to make adjustments to get there. 99 00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:46,020 Now I always like to point that out because we do work with the number of entities where we come in 100 00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:48,360 and we're always at after the end of the year. 101 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,720 So if we're at the end of the year and we're making adjustments, 102 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,900 We'll then potentially you are looking at those numbers throughout the year to make decisions. 103 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,440 So I think it's important for you to know where we come in here both this year and historically 104 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,460 we do not have significant adjustments to the numbers that are being used throughout the year. 105 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,760 So in addition to the unmodified opinion on the financial statements, 106 00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:13,380 we do not have any findings related to federal awards 107 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:18,360 or if we did have any other significant internal control issues 108 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,340 that we could also report as a finding. 109 00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:23,840 So, no findings anywhere where there could be. 110 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,440 Additionally, we sometimes issue, 111 00:10:26,620 --> 00:10:28,940 and normally do issue a management letter, 112 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:30,780 which is our recommendation to management 113 00:10:30,780 --> 00:10:33,820 for other items involving internal control. 114 00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:37,680 Really, the only thing we historically pointed to here 115 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,000 is just what are the new standards coming out, 116 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,580 but you really have structured things 117 00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:43,240 and with the finance office. 118 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,160 Being structured like it is, 119 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,140 is we don't have some of those internal control recommendations. 120 00:10:48,580 --> 00:10:52,980 And now when I talk about the turnover or people being stretched thin is where we've 121 00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:57,520 seen a lot more of that over the past couple of years is there's just not enough time to 122 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,140 do the ideal internal control and those things kind of swap up. 123 00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:04,540 So I'm happy to say we don't have anything to report on that some of these. 124 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:12,020 So that really hopefully very brief and quick summary of what an audit is and what the 125 00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:13,220 results were. 126 00:11:13,220 --> 00:11:20,080 I am always say, we're your auditors year round, so if any question ever arises, anyone can 127 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:26,300 always reach out through Mr. Hauser and get to me in my information here. 128 00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:29,720 But if anything comes up, we're always happy to help. 129 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Any questions?
