FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AT M-DCPS, EXTERNAL AUDITORS GIVE HIGHEST OPINION TO M-DCPS’ FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ (M-DCPS) external auditor, McGladrey, LLP, recently presented the school district with the most favorable opinion based on its financial statements. In other words, this translates to healthy financial accounting practices, with the district operating in an extremely fiscally responsible manner. In a recent report, the auditors concluded that, “…the basic financial statements… ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.” This language constitutes an unqualified opinion, which is the highest opinion that can be given for financial statements M-DCPS has received certificates of excellence from the Government Finance Officers Association for 29 years and from the Association of School Business Officials for 30 years. In addition, in 2012, the school district was also presented with the coveted Award for Excellence in Financial Management by the Council of the Great City Schools. The School Board Audit and Budget Advisory Committee will review this report at its December 10, 2014 meeting and make recommendations accordingly. # # # 14-DGD/144/DL
