AUDITOR PRAISES DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL PRACTICES
Springfield Public Schools earned its 17th consecutive unqualified fiscal audit, meaning that the district met all standards of accounting principles accepted in the United States of America. Fewer than 3 percent of Missouri’s 520 public school districts receive an unqualified audit on the accrual basis. The independent auditor’s report and financial statement for the 2008-2009 fiscal year was prepared by Daniel Jones and Associates, Certified Public Accountants, and presented to the school board at its meeting Nov. 17.
Al Kirchhofer, Jr., president, Daniel Jones & Associates, called the district’s financial practices “top notch,” and said that Springfield Public Schools’ financial management is the best among all of the school districts that his firm audits. Kirchhofer explains the audit results and process in two short videos on SPS' "Bottom Line" financial information page.
