A recent financial audit of West Muskingum Local Schools by the Auditor of State's office has returned a clean audit report, earning the district the Ohio Auditor of State Award.

The award is presented to local governments and school districts upon the completion of a financial audit. Entities that receive the award meet certain criteria including filing a timely financial report, and the audit report does not contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, or questioned costs.
