Joint Meeting with the Audit Advisory Committee
Trustees Received a Presentation of the Annual Independent Auditor’s Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
Representatives from Eide Bailly presented the annual Independent Auditor’s Report for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2022. Highlights included:
- Auditor’s issued an unmodified opinion, which is the highest level of assurance that financial materials are correct and can be relied upon.
- The Government Auditing Standards report showed no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
- The Compliance report did not find any non-compliance.
- Uniform Guidance on Major Federal Programs report yielded an unmodified opinion and did not identify any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
- The Schedule of Expenditures showed a healthier financial position trend year-over-year.
- The reserves (fund balance) have increased to almost $113M, or 4% of expenditures and restricted funds now total around $207M.
- Revenues were around $30M less than budget, due to decreases in enrollment and investment income. CCSD holds investments to maturity, however, and will not be selling them at a loss. It is expecting to earn about 2% on those investments.
- Spend was about $191M less than budget, mostly due to staff vacancies and supply chain carry-over.
- Total expenditures were around $260M lower in totality, again due to staff shortages and timing of spends that were delayed by supply chain backlogs.
- CCSD is the largest employer in Clark County (over 40,000 employees), with most in the instructional unit.
- Cost-per-pupil spend continues to trend upward, while student-to-teacher ratio is trending downward.
