CASCADE LOCKS — The Cascade Locks City Council reached a milestone on Monday, March 23 when it put away its delayed 2022-23 audit for good. Interim staff Gordon Zimmerman and Marianne Bump have the 2023-24 audit in their sights next.
There were zero instances of non-compliance, but several material weaknesses: there was no year-end reconciliation for 2023, empty staff positions led to decreased internal controls and oversight, and the city lacks internal controls over its IT systems.
Interim City Administrator Zimmerman explained that these weaknesses are being rectified and noted for future financial management. The audit revealed a single issue of non-compliance for its financial policies, which was quickly corrected when the council passed an “Allowable Costs Policy” earlier in this meeting. Zimmerman also gave a timeline for the future audits. Though Interim Finance Officer Bump is currently working on the city’s coming budget, the 2023-024 audit is already 50% complete and is on track to be done by this summer, with the 2024-25 audit completed by fall.
