State Auditor issues ‘finding’ against Camas

For the first time in more than 30 years, the Washington State Auditor has issued a finding following an audit of city of Camas financial records.

A report released to the public yesterday states that a recent accountability audit of records from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2011, found that the city “does not have adequate support for its allocation of shared costs, resulting in a shift of general government costs to restricted funds,” and that the city “is unable to show documentation that it complied with state laws that prohibit shifting restricted resources to other funds.”
