Porter Library receives clean audit

Westlake Porter Public Library has passed its recent audit, which means auditors found no weaknesses or deficiencies in the library’s financial management and record-keeping. In addition, the library was found to be in compliance with the laws, regulations, contracts and other agreements it is required to meet. This continues the library’s longstanding record of successful audits.

“Our Finance Department works very hard to make sure the library is a good steward of the funds entrusted to us by the community, and the rest of the staff do a great job following the fiscal procedures Finance has put in place,” said Library Director Andrew Mangels. “So this result does not surprise me at all.”

This year’s audit took place in late spring and covered the year 2022.

Auditors from the Ohio Auditor of State’s office performed audit procedures agreed upon by the Board of Trustees, Library management and the State Auditor. The procedures were conducted in accordance with the Comptroller General of the United States "Government Auditing Standards." All records were found to comply with the standards.
