DISCUSSION
The Washington State Auditor's Office completed the City's Accountability Audit for fiscal years 2023
and 2024. While the Financial Audit and Federal Grant Audit are conducted each year, this
Accountability Audit covered a two-year period. The following areas were reviewed:
• Self -Insurance
• Disbursement — Rental Assistance
• Procurement
• IT Controls
• Disbursements
• Payroll — Leave Accruals
• Small & Attractive Assets
• Financial Condition
• Open Public Meetings & Minutes Compliance
Overall, the audit results were positive and concluded with no findings. While the audit did not identify
any compliance issues, SAO noted that some processes related to Small and Attractive Assets and
Purchase Cards could benefit from strengthened internal controls. Finance staff will review these
recommendations and consider potential improvements to further strengthen the City's internal
controls.
