Finance

All of the City's financial activity is processed, recorded and reported by the Finance Department side of the Clerk-Treasurer's office.  The City reports financial activity using the revenue and expenditure classifications, statements and schedules contained in the Cash Basis Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual.  This basis of accounting and reporting is another comprehensive basis of accounting (OCBOA) that is prescribed by the State Auditor's Office under the authority of Washington State law, Chapter 43.09 RCW.
