The Prairie State College Board of Trustees officially accepted the college’s annual financial audit for the 2024 fiscal year on Tuesday, following a brief presentation from an external auditor.

College President Dr. Michael D. Anthony acknowledged the report was delivered to the board on the night of the meeting and pledged to provide the documents earlier in the future to allow for a longer review period. “We’re working every year to get these to you sooner and sooner so you have them a little bit longer to review,” Anthony said.

“I just want to say what a wonderful job the budget was. I went through the entire thing today. It was amazing and I appreciate everything,” Stanfa said, directing his comments to Chief Financial Officer Cathy Svetanoff. Svetanoff credited the successful audit to a “big team effort.”
