The Clinton-Essex-Warren-Washington BOCES was recently audited by the Office of the State Comptroller as part of the statewide audit of all school districts which began in 2004.
The Board of Education indicated that they appreciated the comprehensive audit. In the area of fiscal accountability, the BOCES strives to be proactive in its efforts to ensure that the interests and assets of component districts and their taxpayers are protected. In fact, after seeing the thoroughness and benefits of the Comptroller’s audit, BOCES Board President, Larry Barcomb, recommended that the State Comptroller’s Office consider increasing the frequency of its audits, and eliminating the annual external and internal audits, which are additional District costs. Furthermore, Mr. Barcomb requested that the Comptroller create an annual publication which outlines best practices in conjunction with the areas most cited in need of improvement which they encounter in performing audits of School Districts.
