The Lewis County Public Utility District (PUD) has received a clean accountability audit from the Washington State Auditor’s Office, the utility announced in a news release on Monday.
The audit, which covered all of 2023, confirmed that the PUD adhered to relevant state laws, regulations and internal policies to ensure the protection of public resources.
“This audit highlights the hard work and commitment of our team,” PUD General Manager David Plotz stated in the release. “We are dedicated to being responsible stewards of taxpayer funds and ensuring efficient, effective government operations.”
The auditor’s office reviewed accounts payable disbursements, procurement, accounts receivable, compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act and tracking of theft-sensitive assets, as well as the overall financial condition of the district.
“Our clean audits are a reflection of our skilled staff, who consistently uphold strong policies and promote a culture of accountability throughout the district,” PUD Chief Financial Officer Doug Streeter stated in the release. “We appreciate our ongoing partnership with the State Auditor’s Office to ensure the integrity of our financial systems and controls.”
