§ 1627 County School Fund Audits

This law says the county school money must be checked every year by an accountant chosen by the school superintendent, and the fee for that check comes out of the school money.

Key Takeaways

  • •The school fund must be audited once a year.
  • •The auditor is a public accountant or CPA picked by the county superintendent of schools.
  • •The cost of the audit is paid out of the school fund itself.

Example

The county school fund buys new computers. Each year an accountant looks at all the receipts and records to make sure the money was spent right, and the accountant’s payment is taken from the same school fund.

The accountant’s job is required by the law, and the cost of hiring the accountant is paid using the school’s own money.
