Accounting - Procurement - Payroll

Accounting manages aspects of financial operations that include accounting,  accounts payable, accounts receivable, vendor services, and employee payroll. 

The Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts has honored the Bulloch County Board of Education and its Office of Business Services multiple times with the Award of Distinction for Excellent Financial Reporting for the district’s annual fiscal year financial audits.The award is presented annually to qualifying public school systems and two-year and four-year colleges and universities in Georgia, who strive not just for best financial practices but better. Annually fewer than 35 school systems receive the award out of the state’s 181 public school districts, so this is strong evidence of the school district's commitment to accountability and transparency.

This award was created in 2014 to recognize excellence in financial reporting and controls. It encourages governmental organizations to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and recognizes individual organizations that are successful in achieving this goal.

To receive the award, organizations must meet the following criteria: 

• Provide full supporting documentation to substantiate financial statements;
• Provide financial statements in a timely manner;
• Ensure all evidence is easy to locate and use for audit;
• Have responsive managers that resolve all accounting standards and presentation issues in a timely manner;
• Have key staff readily available and cooperative during the audit and not delay finalizing the audit;
• Have no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses noted during the audit.
• Must have no more than three to five control deficiencies reported within the management letter;
• Have a clear, unmodified audit opinion; and
• Comply with all Transparency in Government requirements.
