The Office issued the Identity and Access Management Audit of the County’s public records application today! The computer application manages intake of public records requests, gathering and review of information, etc. Data stored in the application contains sensitive information.

Auditor Adams-Wannberg said, “Public access to information is a cornerstone of accountability - and so is protecting sensitive data. When systems allow more access than necessary, the risk isn’t theoretical. It increases the chance of misuse, exposure, or error. This audit found that those risks exist today and addressing them should be a priority.”

The report made 17 recommendations for improvement. Management agreed with most of the recommendations.

Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's life of service and his great impact.

One of my favorite lines from his various speeches is, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

The Auditor's Office is asking for ideas on what Washington County government programs, services, processes, or policies should be audited in 2026.

Performance audits can have a wide range of approaches—from looking at the County's compliance with laws, regulations, and policies to assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of County operations.

If you have ideas for audit topics, please fill out the form on the Auditor's website. https://forms.co.washington.or.us/form/contact-the-auditor

The call will be open until Friday, February 20th. The Auditor will announce her selection of topics in March.
