Clean Accountability Audit for Library
Posted March 23, 2017 at 5:41 am by Tim Dustrude
The San Juan Island Library Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that the Washington State Auditor’s Office has given the Library a clean accountability audit report for fiscal years 2013, 2014, and 2015.
The Washington State Auditor’s Office reviews the financial records of the San Juan Island Library District every three years. Their independent audits assess the Library’s use of public resources, compliance with state laws and regulations and its own policies and procedures, and applicable internal controls. This most recent audit focused on the areas of procurement/prevailing wages, payroll, and disbursements.
The SAO notes that “independent audits provide essential accountability and transparency for District operations. This information is invaluable to management, the governing body and public stakeholders when assessing the government’s stewardship of public resources.”
The State Auditor’s Office is established in the state’s Constitution and is part of the executive branch of the state government. You can find current and past audit reports for the San Juan island Library District at http://portal.sao.wa.gov/
