Prince George’s Schools: Auditors Find Millions In Overpayments, Inefficiencies, Lack Of Controls March 25, 2014 At 12:16 Am

The Prince George’s County Public School System overpaid employees millions of dollars because of lax controls on payrolls and “sick-leave banks,” according to one of many repeat findings by legislative auditors.

The audit also found that hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment and expenses within the school system do not have proper oversight and safeguards. Among the findings: $200 million of equipment is not adequately protected against theft or loss by inventory tracking systems; regular physical inventory counts; and researching missing property.

And more than $100 million of bus transportation expenses are not adequately controlled because of unreliable routing software that isn’t fully used, as well as inefficient bus routes.

Having worked at the WCBOE and having insight into the findings, I believe that the legislative auditors are incompetent.

That's a pretty bold statement to say the auditors are incompetent. You should at least provide us some insight as to why you believe such a thing.
