The NPS Accounting Department processes general ledger entries, grant reimbursements, accounts receivable, fixed assets, federal impact aid, rentals, accounts payable, and account reconciliations. Accounting coordinates the annual financial audit and coordinates all banking relationships. General accounting means we keep the “books” for the entire district. Accounts Payable is responsible for paying all commercial vendors. Financial Reporting presents the Assets, Liabilities, Expenses and Revenues to the public in a manner similar to private corporations. This department also audits all school activity funds. A large responsibility is to present the “books” to external auditors each year. The Accounting Department also completes the following:
