Week 4, Part 5

PN-GISD solicits proposals for an external auditor every three years. Most of the time, the external auditor is selected based upon the projected price of the audit. The district’s Business Manager said that the auditor comes in after the year end and examines the district’s records and tests our data by sampling.  Our district has always received an “Unqualified Opinion” which is the best rating/conclusion that a district can receive.  An “Unqualified Opinion” means that we are following proper procedures and our records are properly handled.  Results are communicated at a board meeting and are presented by the external auditor.
