Audit findings may require which actions?

• A. Hiring new teachers.
• B. Opening new schools.
• C. Increasing sports funding.
• D. Corrective action, improved financial controls, or changes to budgeting practices.

Answer: (D)

Audit findings highlight weaknesses in financial management or operations. The proper response is corrective action to fix the identified issues, strengthen internal controls, and adjust budgeting practices to prevent recurrence. These steps directly address what the audit revealed and help safeguard fiscal integrity. Hiring new teachers, opening new schools, or increasing sports funding aren’t responses to audit findings—they’re expansion or program decisions that don’t fix the problems the audit uncovered.
