LIHD Passes State Audit with Top Marks – Lopez Island Hospital District

We have successfully completed our 3-year annual audit, and we passed with flying colors!

The auditors chose to do a risk assessment for the years 2021-2023, examining areas representing the highest risk of fraud, loss, abuse, or noncompliance:

• Accounts payable – general disbursements and credit cards.

• Open public meetings – compliance with minutes, meetings, and executive session requirements.

• Financial condition – reviewing for indications of financial distress.

The auditors found that LIHD operations complied, in all material respects, with applicable state laws, regulations, and its own policies, and provided adequate controls over the safeguarding of public resources.

Thanks to the LIHD commissioners, the LIHD superintendent, the District’s community partners, and community members who serve on various LIHD committees for support of LIHD operations.
