Audit Haze

Tonight's meeting with the Plante Moran auditors was long on show and short on detail. Hey wasn't that Fred at the table? I thought Lisa told us he retired last year. Reading documents aloud that I can read myself is not my idea of an audit review. Seeing these documents for the first time tonight, at the table, does not allow for informed questions. I would like to go through the chart of accounts in detail, especially the things that are not booked properly. This document is what the audit is based on. I asked for the chart of accounts for six weeks before I finally received it just last week allowing me very little time to prepare for the annual audit dog and pony show. The same firm has been looking at the books for many years and has built a very cordial relationship with the district and the director of finance. I wonder if they are auditing or helping Lisa to pass the audit? I know I can meet with Lisa behind closed doors and have her explain to me any concerns I may have with the ledger but I think it is imperative that we discuss all finances in public. There are so many large dollar amounts for services in the chart that it would make your head spin. These things need to be discussed in public and I will put some of them on my blog.
