The Office of the Washington State Auditor is pleased to announce a new, expanded fall outreach event that takes the place of the BARS Roundtables.
The SAO Roadshow will travel to a location near you beginning in October and offer a full day of assistance and training, including:
Our Office is committed to helping governments improve their operations. One way the Auditor's Office does that is by leading Lean workshops for governments that ask for help improving a process.
We are excited to announce that for the first time in the history of the National State Auditor's Association (NSAA) IT Conference, Washington is the host state! This year's conference takes place October 3rd through 6th at the beautiful and modern Hotel Murano in Tacoma.
The State Auditor's Office is excited to bring back the popular annual report filing workshops. These workshops are designed to help local governments file their annual financial reports, and to meet the statutory requirement of submitting the report within 150 days of the close of their fiscal year.
New this year, participants can select a one-hour time slot for individualized assistance from a Local Government Support Specialist. Laptops will be provided. If you bring the materials you need to file your report, you may be able to complete and file during your appointment.
