flag New Zealand schools with financial issues were monitored but not punished, despite ongoing mismanagement.

flag The New Zealand Ministry of Education contacted all schools flagged by the Auditor General for financial issues over the past year but took no formal intervention actions. flag The audit, covering up to October, found ongoing problems including unauthorized borrowing, personal travel expenses for principals, and unapproved food parcel purchases. flag The ministry said it worked with schools to improve financial practices and documentation, emphasizing continued monitoring until recommendations are fully implemented. flag While it has enforcement powers, it deemed them unnecessary after this year’s findings. flag Broader concerns included poor budgeting in nearly 500 schools and questionable spending on trips and facilities.
