Results of External Audit and Claims Audit – 2024–2025

Reported to Audit Committee: November 3, 2025

Accepted by Board of Education: November 3, 2025

On Monday, November 3, 2025, the Audit Committee met with the district’s auditors to review the results of the draft reports from both the External Auditors and the Claims Auditors. Following these discussions, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Education accept both reports and related documents, as well as approve the district’s corrective action plan. At the Board of Education meeting, both auditing firms presented their reports in public session. The reports, along with the related documents, were accepted, and the corrective action plan was approved. The message from the auditors was clear: the district’s business and financial operations continue to be exceptionally strong.

External Audit Report – RS Abrams

Marianne Van Duyne, External Auditing Partner from RS Abrams, reported that for the 2024–2025 fiscal year, the New Hyde Park–Garden City Park Union Free School District once again received a perfectly clean audit. There were no findings or areas for improvement, and therefore, no need for a corrective action plan. This marks the eleventh consecutive year that the district has achieved this remarkable result — an accomplishment unmatched by any other school district in the history of RS Abrams. Ms. Van Duyne praised the business office and district staff for their continued excellence and unwavering attention to detail.

Claims Audit Report – Nawrocki Smith

Donna Tepper, Claims Auditing Senior Manager from Nawrocki Smith, reviewed the claims process and results for the 2024–2025 fiscal year. She reported that the district had only one inquiry/comment for the entire school year, describing this as an exceptional performance. Ms. Tepper reaffirmed that the New Hyde Park–Garden City Park Union Free School District remains the best district that Nawrocki Smith works with in terms of operational performance and overall efficiency.
