Bothell, Wash. – City of Bothell has received notice from the Washington State Auditor’s Office that it has achieved an eighth consecutive year with zero audit findings. Washington State law requires cities to be audited annually. Audit procedures are performed to determine whether the City complied with state laws and regulations and its own policies and procedures. This year’s audit focused on accountability in several areas including safeguarding of assets, restricted revenues, federal compliance and financial reporting.    

“We are fortunate to have a conscientious staff that is fiscally responsible at all times,” said City Manager Bob Stowe. “Our citizens can trust in the fact that their City ensures accountability for our public dollars.”
 
The Washington State Auditor's Office independently serves the citizens of Washington by promoting accountability, fiscal integrity and openness in state and local government.  Working with these governments and with citizens, the office strives to ensure the efficient and effective use of public resources.
