The Lewis County Commissioners, in their role as the Board of Supervisors for the Chehalis River Basin Flood Control Zone District received an exemplary audit from the Washington State Auditor on Wednesday.
The accountability audit examined accounts payable, compliance with state grants, procurement of resources and the overall financial condition of the district for a period of January 2018 through December 2021.

“The audit found that the District operation complied in all material respects to applicable state laws and regulations, and provided adequate controls over the safeguarding of public resources,” State Audit Lead Alisha Alkire said.

“I’m happy with the results of the audit, which demonstrates that we’re being very accountable, and protecting government funds to do the work that we do,” Chehalis River Basin Flood Control Zone District Administrator Erik Martin said. “I’m proud of the fact that not only have we complied with the necessary laws and rules, we also have a hard working staff that keep excellent financial records.”
