New York State Comptroller Audit of Capital Improvement Fund – September 2019

From late 2018 through early 2019, auditors from the Office of the New York State Comptroller examined practices related to the establishment and fiscal oversight of a district capital project for the period from July 1, 2016, through February 28, 2019. The auditors determined that district officials properly established, monitored and accounted for the capital project and the audit resulted in no recommendations. The financial review was one of the periodic audits that the Office of the State Comptroller conducts of all school districts and localities across the state.

Niskayuna CSD Audited Financial Statements

Each year, in accordance with New York State regulations, an independent auditor conducts a review of the districts’ financial statements. After the audit is completed, it is reviewed by the Audit Committee and accepted by the Board. This typically takes place in the fall. Once this process has concluded, the district provides the community with its financial statements and the narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the district for the prior year as represented by the report.
