Bexley Schools Treasurer/CFO Kyle Smith and his staff once again earned state awards for their business operations and management of the school district’s finances. Bexley Schools have consistently received recognition from the Auditor of State for the past several years.
The state Auditor’s Office awarded Bexley its Auditor of State Award for “excellence in financial reporting,” which is given for having a clean audit of their work.
The award recognizes Ohio government entities that received a “clean” audit report. “Clean” audits show no findings for recovery or indication of any weaknesses or deficiencies in their record-keeping or financial processes; they also indicate that auditors found no financial or other concerns, such as public-records or banking issues.
Bexley Schools have received a clean audit opinion and the Ohio Auditor of State Award seven times since 2015, including for fiscal years 2020-2025 – the past six consecutive years. Just 10% of the state’s public entities receive the Ohio Auditor of State Award.
For the third consecutive year, the district also received the state Auditor’s “Highest Achievement” designation of four stars in relation to public records compliance. Using a star system, the state auditor grades government entities on whether their business practices support open and transparent government and follow the auditor’s seven best practices relating to the state’s Sunshine Law requirements.
