Accountability Audit Reports

The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 43.09 RCW requires that the State Auditor’s Office examine the financial affairs of local governments. The timing and scope of audits are based on risk analyses that consider such factors as size, analytical procedures and prior audit history. The State Auditor’s Office is also required to issue accounting and reporting requirements for local governments and to collect and report their revenues and expenditures (RCW 43.09.200). This is done through the Budget, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS), which requires interpretation of governmental accounting and reporting standards and financial related statutes.

As with all municipal entities, Benton County Fire Protection District No. 2 (BCFPD2) is regularly audited by the Washington State Auditor. Accountability audits examine the District’s fiscal processes to determine if there are appropriate internal controls in place to comply with state laws and regulations..

Accountability Audits assess whether public funds and assets are protected and accounted for, and governments are following applicable laws, regulations and their own policies.  BCFPD2’s next scheduled accountability audit will occur in 2026. The accountability audit will cover years 2023 through 2025.
