One audit, which is an internal review of spending, is standard, but two external audits, examining Fayette County Public Schools’ finances, including a previous vote to increase the occupational tax, are being conducted. State auditor Allison Ball leads one. Nick Clark, the internal auditor with FCPS, told the committee that the district has provided more than 45-hundred documents for that investigation.
FCPS is also conducting a standard internal audit for the Kentucky Department of Education, but has also begun an external audit of spending practices in the district. Clark said the results of the state APA audit are expected to be released next spring.
