Among the findings:
- Excessive and unauthorized amounts of student money spent on staff refreshments and staff appreciation (a.k.a gifts)
- Yearbook activity that produced a huge loss. The financial statement indicated a loss of $792, but the auditors determined that the actual loss was over $9000.
- Field trip fees that exceeded the actual cost of the field trips
- Charity funds that had been collected but never turned over to the charity
- And much more
