Success Story
The Audit Department audited the District’s Purchase and Inventory Control of Fuel and identified areas where the District saved $1.5 million in fuel cost. The District also recouped $75,375 from the vendor for billing errors.
Improving Student Performance
Assessments of School District activities were conducted to identify ways to cut costs and improve operational effectiveness and efficiency. These assessments provided recommendations that improved resource utilization, increased productivity, and provided better controls and safeguards against losses due to fraud, theft, errors, and mismanagement.
