#KPMSpeaks to school finance students at Missouri State University! With 20+ years of experience performing school district audits across Missouri, #KPMAudit Shareholder Jon Cummings has vast expertise on the subject. He was asked to speak to future school leaders about the importance of an independent audit (and the process) for school districts. Auditors also serve as a valuable resource! They help school finance officials understand the ever-evolving reporting requirements that are needed to remain in compliance for the government funds they receive. We hope the students understand the process better - and maybe realize that audits are not as scary as they may seem!
