Board Meeting: November 28, 2023
The Board Meeting for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board took place on November 28, 2023. Staff brought forward three reports with three recommendations for discussion.
I voted in favour of the recommendations in Report 23-076, Audit Committee Annual Report for 2022 to 2023. It was added to the consent agenda items. This report performs work that contributes to the District’s successful corporate governance framework. The work performed by the Audit Committee during 2022 to 2023 continues to inform the District’s internal control, risk management, and financial reporting processes.
I voted in favour of the recommendations in Report 23-074, 2022 to 2023 Annual Report on Internal Audit Activity. It was added to the consent agenda items. This report sought the approval of its annual report to the Board summarizing the work performed by the regional internal audit team from 2022 to 2023 following Ontario Regulation 36/10 Audit Committee.
I voted in favour of the recommendations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. This report sought the approval of the Draft 2022 to 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements. The Education Act requires that school boards prepare audited financial statements annually and make the statements available to the public. As a result, the audited financial statements are presented to the Audit Committee to review and make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. This year the recommendation was the approve the Draft 2022 to 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements. The recommendations passed.
