CL Port catches up on audits from COVID-19 years

CASCADE LOCKS — The Port of Cascade Locks’ recently completed audit for fiscal year 2020-2021 received an unmodified opinion, it was reported to the commission at their March 19 meeting. The following two fiscal years will be completed simultaneously, and Blue hopes the port will be caught up by the end of this year.

The audit found one material weakness, a misstatement of capital assets. Initially, some items in the port’s list of assets didn’t match those compiled by Pauly Rogers & Co., certified public accountants, during the audit proceedings. The lists were reconciled with the help of Matt Apken of Merina+Co.
