School District Audit Findings Overview

This page provides transparency into audit findings across Oregon's 197 school districts and 19 ESDs, supporting accountability in public
education finance. The majority of districts maintain clean audit records; however, this analysis discloses those with specific financial
statement findings, federal grant compliance issues, or audit comments. As experienced governmental accounting professionals know, audit
findings serve as critical indicators of internal control deficiencies or compliance concerns that require management attention and corrective
action.

Key Metrics Displayed:
  • Financial Statement Findings: Material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, or compliance violations identified by independent auditors
  • Federal Grant Issues: Findings specifically related to federal program compliance under the Uniform Guidance
  • Comments: Instances where auditors identify other noncompliance that could have a material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts, these matters are disclosed in the comments section of the audit report.
Navigation Tip: Right-click on any district row and select "Drill-through" → "Detail" to view the complete auditor notes and specific language
from the audit reports. This detailed view provides the full context behind each finding, enabling deeper analysis of the nature and severity of
identified issues.

This information empowers stakeholders—from district leadership to policymakers to community members—to understand the fiscal health
and compliance status of school districts across the state, promoting informed decision-making and enhanced public accountability.
