2011-2012 Audit Summary Application

The following information is provided for independent school auditors. The manual and respective web-application will enable the auditors to prepare the Audit Summary Application (AUDSUM) which is required by the New Jersey Department of Education.

New this year, the Audit Summary Application is being delivered as a web application. The software has been improved and the line items have been reassigned to allow for sequential numbering and greater flexibility in the addition of new lines in the future. The independent school auditor must certify the audsum data by using the new electronic signature process, and the school district can review the audsum data online (read only acess) and must also certify using the new electronic signature process. Instructions for accessing and using the new audsum application are included in the manual below.

As a reminder, the data submitted on the audit summary application will be automatically downloaded into the 2013 - 2014 school district budget programs for the 2011-2012 actual columns. Therefore, the board secretaries/business administrators must thoroughly review all reports in the Audsum so they can attest to the accuracy of the data and electronically certify the audsum. If discrepancies in the 2011-2012 information are identified when the district receives the 2013-2014 budget program, corrections to these actual numbers can only be made through the correction and recertification of the audsum on-line. The audsum data should be completed and certified by both the independent school auditor and the school district no later than December 5, 2012.
