Interview with the LISD Director of Finance on Financial Audits

Interview with the LISD Director of Finance on Financial Audits

The Livingston Independent School District Board of Trustees has decided to use an external auditor for the purpose of financial audits for the school district.  The board goes out to bid every three years for a new auditor.  The auditing company is usually a Certified Public Accounting Firm that will come in and spend a week in the district in the summer conducting an interim audit.  Then the firm will come back after the close of the fiscal year in September or October for a final audit.  The chosen accounting firm will give a final audit report to the Board of Trustees at the regular board meeting in December.   The results are submitted to TEA and the district’s financial advisors.  The financial advisors usually publish the report to a national data base so those investors may see how the district is doing financially.
