Congratulations to Director Austin Carter and the entire CCPS Finance Team for successfully completing their annual financial audit! These audits take months to prepare for and compete, and I’m proud to share that CCPS has been rated as LOW RISK with NO FINDINGS! Once again, the district has shown excellence in financial management.
This designation highlights the great work of the team and shows that CCPS continues to uphold the highest standards of financial transparency and accountability. This in-depth process takes months to complete, and the outcome reflects the dedication and expertise of our finance professionals.
Additionally, congratulations to our CCPS Bookkeepers who have completed the UGA Certificate Program through the Carl Vinson Institute of Government.
For context, the Georgia Department of Audits & Accounts (DOAA) is considered the gold standard for audits in Georgia. They play a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability in government spending, auditing everything from the state budget to local governments. The DOAA is legally required to review and audit those audits as well, further reinforcing their credibility in financial management.
Director Carter and the CCPS Finance Team will be recognized at the April 8th BOE meeting at 6:00 pm. Let’s all take a moment to congratulate everyone involved in this achievement!
