Vancouver (WA): Port Receives Clean State Audit

An official audit released April 17 by the Washington State Auditor’s Office found the Port of Vancouver to be in compliance in all areas of financial reporting, including federal laws and regulations. There were no findings of deficiencies or recommendations for improvement.

In a letter to the port commission, State Auditor Troy Kelley stated: "The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards." The audit period was from January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013.

The Washington State Auditor’s Office also examined the port’s internal controls and found that they "were adequate to safeguard public assets," and that the port "also complied with state laws and regulations and its own policies and procedures in the areas we examined."

"I’m proud of the entire port team for their hard work, which is evidenced in the fact that the audit process only took 16 days," saidJeff Estuesta, the port’s director of finance. "This audit provides confirmation that the port is strategically and responsibly managing funding that comes from the state of Washington, the federal government, and our local taxpayers."
