17 problems state found in 2023-2025 audit of South Bend schools
SOUTH BEND — A recent audit by the Indiana State Board of Accounts found internal control issues at the South Bend Community School Corp. from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025. Auditors said this led to over $12 million in questioned costs from the district during the audit period, among other issues.

The auditors report weaknesses within SBCSC's internal control over its financial reporting and major programs, which caused "instances of noncompliance to occur and remain undetected during the audit period." "Internal controls within the School Corporation are the policies and procedures established to safeguard assets, ensure accurate financial reporting, and maintain compliance with laws and regulations," the Federal Compliance Audit Report reads. "Deficiencies were identified in the School Corporation's internal control system over financial transactions and reporting. The School Corporation had not implemented an effective framework of internal controls to ensure the separation of incompatible duties." This comes after audit reports for 2022-2023 were made public in the spring, similarly alleging noncompliance and breakdowns in SBCSC's internal controls. While responses from district officials included
