Auditor of State With Distinction

The Ohio Auditor of State's Joe Braden presented Treasurer/CFO Eric Beavers and his team with the Auditor of State Award with Distinction.

This is the eighth consecutive year the District has earned this high achievement. Out of the thousands of entities who are audited each year, less than 4% are eligible.

According to the AOS's office, entities must meet the following criteria of a “clean” audit report:

• The entity must file financial reports with the Auditor of State’s Office by the statutory due date, without extension, via the Hinkle System, on the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) accounting basis, and prepare an ACFR (Annual Comprehensive Financial Report).
• The audit report does not contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, Uniform Guidance (Single Audit) findings, or questioned costs, with the opinion dated within six months of the entity’s year-end.
• The entity’s management letter contains no comments related to:
• Ethics referrals
• Questioned costs less than the threshold per Uniform Guidance
• Lack of timely annual financial report submission
• Bank reconciliation issues
• Failure to obtain a timely Single Audit in accordance with Uniform Guidance
• Findings for recovery less than $500
• Public meetings or public records issues
• The entity has no other financial or other concerns.
