What this project cannot test
The print ends 05/28/2026. June 2026, the last month of the FY2026 window, was not produced. No revenue account was produced, so the receipts the reports state are not tested against the books. No record was produced on the Police Department's own training spending, so this project cannot say whether the police course added to it. No contract, invoice or presentation material was produced for Why'd You Stop Me or MJPB Consulting, so this project cannot confirm what the students were taught.
How this project classifies spending is set out in the methodology and the rubric. Corrections follow the corrections policy.
