The Ephrata School District received audit reports with no findings from the  Washington State Auditor’s Office for the 2024-25 fiscal year. Auditors reported no material weaknesses, no significant deficiencies and no material noncompliance in the district’s financial statements, federal programs or accountability audit. 

The audits reviewed the district’s financial reporting, federal grant compliance, internal controls and accountability practices. Auditors found the district’s records met state and federal requirements and identified no material issues requiring corrective action. 

As a result, the Ephrata School District continues to qualify as a low-risk auditee under federal guidelines, reflecting strong financial oversight and accountability practices.

“This audit reflects the commitment and professionalism of our team in upholding strong financial stewardship,” said Allison Razey, Ephrata School District Director of Business and Finance. “An audit with no findings or material misstatements highlights the strength of our internal controls and our continued commitment to transparency and public trust. It affirms that public resources are being managed responsibly and with integrity.”

“I want to thank Allison and our entire team for their exceptional work in achieving this result,” said Superintendent Ken Murray. “This outcome reflects the care and discipline that define our work each day. We are committed to being responsible stewards of the financial resources entrusted to us and this audit result reflects that commitment in action.” 

The next scheduled audit for the District will take place in 2027. For more information about the Washington State Auditor’s Office and public audit reports, visit: Washington State Auditor's Office.
