For the 13th straight year, the Port of Vancouver USA garnered a clean audit from the Washington State Auditor’s Office, which annually audits ports across the state.
The port received its results of no found deficiencies for the audit spanning calendar year 2021 from the state auditor’s office, which reviewed a number of the port’s programs and processes, including billing for marine terminal revenues; compliance with contract terms and billings for tenant leases, employee reimbursements, procurement purchases and financial compliance on public works projects such as prevailing wages and change orders, the port stated.
“A 13th consecutive clean audit highlights how committed the Port of Vancouver is to using public resources responsibly,” Port CEO Julianna Marler said. “I’m incredibly proud of the entire staff for the pride they have in their work, including maintaining detailed records.”
