We’re In Need of an Audit Reality Check: Why We Need More Than a Box-Checking Approach

Aug 22, 2025

Brockton’s schools didn’t lose $18.3 million to fraud—they lost it to incompetence. Taxpayers then paid another $400,000 for audits that confirmed what families already knew: weak leadership, rubber-stamp oversight, and broken systems.
