In this issue of Audit Buzz, we summarize the status of current engagements and highlight an important survey which will be sent to select FCPS staff and families of select FCPS students.

Prior editions of Audit Buzz are archived here on OAG's website.

As always, we appreciate the cooperation and courtesies extended to our staff by FCPS management and staff during all past, current, and future audit engagements.


Engagement and Office Updates


Current Engagement Update

  • OAG is currently performing both the Fidelity of Implementation of School Board Actions and the Hiring and Onboarding Practices audits.  These audits are being performed in accordance with the FY 2021 OAG Audit Plan. In addition, OAG continues to serve as the project liaison for a comprehensive program review of FCPS’ special education, which American Institutes for Research (AIR) was contracted to perform.
  • OAG is currently performing its annual risk assessment process, with the goal being to identify and prioritize audit topics for the FY 2022 Audit Plan.  OAG presented its FY22 Risk Assessment Methodology and Potential Audit Topics to the Audit Committee at the February 24, 2021 Audit Committee meeting.  

Important Survey Coming Soon

On March 1, FCPS instructional staff and parents of students with disabilities will receive an invitation via email from FCPS Office of Auditor General to complete an independent, third-party survey on FCPS’s special education services provided to students with disabilities. All responses are confidential and will be used to generate recommendations for the School Board.
