The presentation of the audit outcomes presented by J Hinkle and T ?? partners from Hinke and Company:

Presentation

• how the audit was processed
• no deficiencies in the controls found
• how the audit opinion was reached and presented on the financial statements based on standard accounting principals
• required communication letter presented by Timothy 
• Letter - first generally accepted auditing standards and the responsibilities of the auditors start the letter and statement of free of conflict of interest
  • no disagreements or audit issues detected during the audit were encountered, and no significant account matters were encountered per the auditors
• The most significant impact was the Para pension liability (unfunded) - gone up significantly - due to ROR lowered significantly. Offset found in other areas - those para liabilities are not something that the schools will have much control over
  • the state did contribute some funds for the para pension but is still working on catching up from COVID
• No changes of concern noted from year to year

Question was this something you noticed over all of the schools that you were auditing?

Answer: yes this was something we were seeing across the board

Question: With the MLO funding increase in funding will affect the contributions to the pension?

Answer: a little bit of an increase but not anticipating a huge increase in the funding, all schools will see the increase on a proportional level so they not expecting a huge change, more of the influence was the volatile market and the decrease in the return from the investments in the PARA Pension portfolio

Question: How many schools passed with flying colors the auditing process? (found we got an A+ rating)

Answer: Most of the schools passed well, and most are in pretty good shape. Have to do the charters that are part of the district as the charter audits can hold up the district's auditing process.

no other questions were presented on the audit information.
