Auditing more than 200 public schools with a team of just eight professionals is no small feat. For Danielle Moore, the Deputy Auditor General of a major U.S. County Public School System, the challenges were multiplied by inconsistent documentation, decentralized record-keeping, and time-consuming manual review processes. Each school was responsible for uploading receipts, invoices, and supporting financial records in various formats to a central drive. From there, auditors were tasked with verifying accuracy, assessing purchase reasonableness, and ensuring correct accounting code usage—quarter after quarter, school by school. The effort was resource-intensive, often requiring two to three auditors to manually examine hundreds of PDFs per school, making standardization and timely review extremely difficult.
