Four school heads from Gutu District have since been charged with fraud and jailed for 18 months each.
The headmasters are for Chimedza Secondary, Matombo, Zengeya and Munjera primary schools.
A head at a Bikita school is reportedly on the run after stealing US$14 000.
Education, Sport, Arts and Culture Minister David Coltart on Wednesday confirmed the auditors had begun work in most schools.
