The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission needs to do a better job of accounting for money spent on motor vehicle fuel and for its Discover Passes and other park revenues.
That was the finding of a report issued Thursday by the Washington State Auditor's Office.
The report said that, from July 2012 to July 2013, State Parks spent more than $1 million to purchase fuel. But the agency had no written policies on the use of fuel cards.
The auditor's office also found that in relation to Discover Passes, State Parks does not have written procedures to ensure the proper tracking of passes printed or distributed.
The audit also found that in collecting cash, the agency had no controls to ensure all funds collected through secured boxes were deposited.
