Purpose of Audit

The purpose of our review was to assess the Ontario-Seneca-Yates-Cayuga-Wayne BOCES’ (BOCES) progress, as of August 2022, in implementing our recommendations in the audit report released in December 2016. 

Background

BOCES serves 25 school districts in an eight-county region and is governed by a nine-member Board of Education (Board) that is elected by the boards of its component school districts. BOCES’ 2015-16 fiscal year general fund budget totaled approximately $102.7 million.

Results of Review

Based on our limited procedures, BOCES has made progress implementing corrective action. Of the 12 audit recommendations, five recommendations were fully implemented, four recommendations were partially implemented, two recommendations were not implemented and one recommendation is no longer applicable.
