ABOUT THE AUDIT
This report contains the results of our independent audit of the University of Washington for the period July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2002.
Our work focused on determining whether the University complied with state laws and regulations and federal grant requirements. We evaluated internal controls established by management. We also performed audit procedures on specific areas that have potential for abuse and misuse of public resources.
RESULTS
University officials have designed internal controls to achieve objectives in three categories: effectiveness of operations, including performance goals and safeguarding of resources; reliability of financial report; and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
In general, the University’s internal controls allow officials to effectively operate the University and safeguard its resources. In most areas we examined, the University of Washington compiled with state and federal laws and regulations and its own policies and procedures. We did not identify any conditions significant enough to report as a finding. However, we noted some issues that we communicated to University management.
RELATED REPORTS
A report on the University’s compliance with federal assistance program requirements is included in the State of Washington Single Audit Report.
A report on the University’s compliance with laws and regulations and the adequacy of its internal controls is included in the State of Washington Accountability Report.

ABOUT THE AUDIT
This report contains the results of our audit of the Washington State Dry Pea and Lentil Commission for the period July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2002.
The audit was performed by a certified public accounting firm through a contract with our Office. Our office reviewed the work done by the firm to determine whether the Commission complied with state laws and regulations and established adequate internal controls. In keeping with general auditing practices, the firm did not examine every portion of the Commission’s financial activities during the audit. The audit focused on the Commission’s compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act, budget requirements and the overall legality of the Commission’s expenditures. Also audited were the financial statements and internal controls over cash and investments as established by Commission management.
ABOUT THE COMMISSION

The Commission was formed to enable producers of dry peas and/or lentils to establish orderly, fair, sound, efficient and unhampered marketing, grading and standardization of dry peas and/or lentils and in promoting and increasing the sale of these commodities.
A nine-member Board governs the Commission. Seven members are producers elected from their respective Districts. The dealer processors elect one member, and one member is appointed by the Director of the Washington Department of Agriculture to represent the Department and public.
The Commission is funded by assessments that are levied upon dry peas and lentils sold in Washington. The Commission operates on an annual budget of approximately $250,000.
RELATED REPORTS
Our opinion on the Commission’s financial statements for fiscal year 2002 is provided in a separate report, which includes the Commission’s financial statements.
