Mukilteo turned in financial statements to auditors 7 months late
EVERETT — The city of Mukilteo turned in its fiscal year 2023 financial statements to state auditors late, officials said in a city council meeting Monday, about 7 months beyond a state-required deadline.
State law requires governments to file annual reports to auditors by May 30. Mukilteo filed its report to the Washington State Auditor’s Office 221 days late, a draft of the state audit report shared by the city read. The city cited a significant turnover in staff as the reason for the delay.
The full audit report is expected to be released next week, state auditor Kirk Gadbois said at Monday’s council meeting.
The good news for Mukilteo is that its financial statements were clean, Gadbois said. There were no material weaknesses or instances of noncompliance with state laws in the city’s financial statements. But the audit found that the city had multiple smaller issues in its internal controls — including omissions of certain revenues — that amounted to the State Auditor’s Office issuing a finding.
