Audit Scope
The Washington State Auditor's Office (SAO) conducted an audit of
the Port's construction management practices and issued its report in
December of 2007. The audit report contained a number of findings,
and the CEO responded to the audit report by implementing many
policy changes including department re-alignment and re-organization.
Based on the time frame of the SAO audit report and the
implementation of Port changes, the scope of our audit will be 2009.
We believe the implemented policies and procedures should have
taken effect and matured prior to 2009.
