by Alton Worley II, KOMO News StaffA recently released report from the King County Audit or found that the King County Recorder’s Office suffered from a lack of oversight of its financial operations in the last six years which lead to the misallocation of millions in prepaid funds, overbilling, and lost revenue.
An estimated $91,000 in revenue was lost due to bad checks because it lacked processes to pursue collections on accounts that did not respond to notices. “The County’s handling of taxpayer money needs to be above reproach,” said King County Auditor Kymber Waltmunson. “We look forward to seeing enhancements in the Recorder’s Office to reduce the risk of uncollected revenue, undetected fraud, non-compliance with laws and rules, and inaccurate financial reporting.”
