As required in MCL 388.1618(4), local and intermediate school districts and public school academies have until December 1, 2020 to file the annual financial audit reports with the intermediate school district and MDE for the 2019-20 audit cycle. In addition, the deadline for districts to submit comprehensive financial data through the financial information database was extended to December 1, 2020 (MCL 388.1618(5)) as part of the state’s education omnibus budget (Public Act 165 of 2020).

Per MCL 388.1618(2) of the state School Aid Act, each local and intermediate school district and public school academy must make the audit of financial and pupil accounting records available through a link on its website homepage, or may make the information available through a link on its intermediate district's website homepage. Due to changes in the state of Michigan’s data systems, the state can no longer continue to host district financial audits on the MDE website.
