For the last nine years, the Newhall School District received flawless audits from external auditing firms, according to school officials.

“We have excellent business department staff members who meticulously track payroll, attendance, and every dollar from state, federal, and local sources,” said Ronna Wolcott, assistant superintendent of business for the 7,000-student Newhall School District. “The audit confirms the quality of their work in accounting for the financial business of the district.”

Reviewing all assets and liabilities, budgeting and fund management, the audit is designed to assess the financial health of the district. The CPA firm of Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co. found no difficulties in performing the audit or disagreements with management. There were no “Audit Findings” or “Questioned Costs” in the audit report.

Annual audits of the funds entrusted to a school district are one way the public can verify the proper use and tracking of the taxpayers’ dollars.

Newhall School District’s annual analysis is designed to provide citizens, taxpayers, students and investors and creditors with a general overview of the district’s finances and to show the district’s accountability for the money it receives.

While the fiscal year ends June 30, school districts close their books sometime in August and an external auditing team examines them in the fall.

The results are then presented to the Governing Board of the district. The annual audit for the Newhall School District was presented for board review on December 10.

The audit reviewed 2012-2013 revenue and budgeting and the long term debts and obligations of the District. This year the audit included revenue and expenditures from Measure E, the district’s $60 million bond authorization approved by the voters in November 2011, according to a Newhall School District press release.

“The Board is very involved in monitoring the district’s budget, fiscal health and priorities,” stated Brian Walters, President of the school board. “Our Business Department provides accurate and timely information to us and we trust their outstanding work. At the same time, it’s important to verify what is done in an auditors’ annual report and, once again, we found that our trust in our department is warranted.”
