Financial Statement Preparation Workshop

June 3, 2025 • 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center, East Lansing, MI

Welcome!

Statement of Auditing Standards #112 requires school districts to be able to prepare their own financial statements. If a district cannot prepare their own, they have a control deficiency. This workshop is designed by CPAs to give schools the information they need to satisfy this requirement. Your professional reputation and higher auditing fees may be “on the line.” Annual attendance will help you meet this requirement.
