Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to the school district internal audit function
Purpose
To require school district internal audit risk assessments biennially instead of annually.
Summary of provisions
Amends section 2116-b subsection 1 of the education law to require internal audit risk assessments biennially instead of annually.
Justification
Currently, school districts are required to have internal audits done every year. This includes a risk assessment as well as testing and evaluation of one or more specific areas of district operations.
Often, risk assessments can be costly and time-consuming and produce only general results. The intensive review of certain operations is more helpful in identifying specific areas for improvement. This bill would allow districts to have risk assessments every two years, and to conduct specific in depth reviews every year. In this manner they can reduce costs while choosing to focus on the areas that might pose the greatest risks to their districts.
