Annual audit report
Aaron Nielsen, a certified public accountant with the accounting firm Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich
and Company (MMKR), reviewed the annual audit his firm conducted of the district’s financial statements for
the 2017 fiscal year. The auditor gave the district an unmodified opinion on its basic financial statements, and
said the district is in a strong financial position with an adequate fund balance and provided trend data along
with current financial measures to provide context. No material weaknesses or instances of noncompliance
were reported. The analysis and report of district funds by an independent firm provides information for School
Board consideration in financial planning and management of business affairs and compliance with legal re-
quirements and mandates.
