The South Whidbey School District received state auditors’ approval at an auditor’s exit conference Wednesday morning.

The district was due for an accountability audit, which takes place every three years, a financial statement audit and a federal grant compliance audit, all of which received an unmodified “clean” opinion from auditors.

Auditors also noted that the district had maintained “excellent” records and that staff were accommodating throughout the process.

The auditors did, however, note two “small housekeeping items.”

The first was a suggestion to produce more market research documentation “determining Apple is a sole source vendor.” In an email to The Record, Dan Poolman, assistant superintendent of business and operations, clarified that the district had used documentation provided by Apple stating that Apple is the sole source provider of Apple products.

The second was to ensure second reviews on journal entries. Poolman clarified that this means “simply having a second person review the entry and initial it.”

Poolman said that he and his staff had already begun addressing both suggestions.

“We are working to take your advice and apply it,” he told the auditors at Wednesday’s exit conference.

At the close of the conference, school board Director Julie Hadden — who previously worked in a populous California school district — said, “this was one of the cleanest audits I’ve ever seen.”
