Auditor Award with Distinction

Kenston Local School District’s most recent financial audit by Auditor of State Dave Yost’s office returned a clean audit report. Kenston’s excellent recordkeeping has earned it the Auditor of State Award with Distinction.

“While a school’s primary concern is its students, it must also remain accountable to taxpayers,” Auditor Yost said. “Accurate record keeping is clearly a priority for Kenston Local Schools, and I am proud to present this award to the district.”

To earn a “clean” audit report and receive an award, school districts must: file timely financial reports in the form of a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report; the audit report does not contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, single audit findings or questioned costs; and the management letter contains no comments related to ethics referrals, questioned costs less than $10,000, lack of timely report submission, reconciliation, failure to obtain a timely single audit, findings for recovery less than $100, public meetings or public records.
