Every year, Umatilla County Fire District #1 undergoes an independent financial audit. This audit is more than just a requirement; it is an important way for us to show the public that we are being responsible stewards of the tax dollars and funding entrusted to us. The District's annual audit process is intended to help assure that financial resources are being managed appropriately and in the best interests of our community.

Think of an audit like a report card for the District's finances. Independent auditors review our financial records, compare them to supporting documents, and verify that we are following accounting rules and Oregon laws. Their job is to make sure the numbers are accurate and that public funds are being used as intended.

We are proud to report that year after year, our audits have found that the District's financial statements are presented fairly and accurately. The auditors have consistently issued positive opinions on our financial reports, confirming that our financial records can be relied upon and trusted. 

The annual audit is one of the many ways we remain transparent and accountable to the citizens we serve. We believe that taxpayers deserve to know how public funds are managed, and we are committed to operating with honesty, integrity, and fiscal responsibility.

We encourage you to review the audit report below and learn more about how your fire district manages its finances while continuing to provide emergency services to our community.
