PRIEST RIVER — A long-awaited forensic audit has found no financial misconduct, West Bonner trustees were told by auditing firm Eide Bailey last week.

"So summary of observations from phase two, there's definitely some opportunity to improve retaining, and organizing supporting documentation," Brandon Waldren, the forensic auditor, told the board. "There are opportunities to update procurement, disbursement approval processes, policies, and training. As of right now, we have not seen a pattern or activity that may be indicative of financial improprieties."

The board approved a motion to review the draft audit, sending any questions to West Bonner board clerk Julie Hinshaw by April 8. Approval of the draft audit report could take place at the board's April 17 meeting after Eide Bailey has a chance to address any board questions.
