The system shall exhibit true accounts and detailed statements of funds collected, received, and expended for account of the public for any purpose whatever, and by all public officers, employees, and or other persons. The accounts shall show the receipt, use and disposition of all public property, and the income, if any, derived there from; all sources of public income …..

    8. What does SAO require I do at my Port? LGS Reporting - At a minimum all ports will need to file an annual report with SAO within 150 days of year end. Participate in Audits - The type and extent of auditing will be based on your port revenues, audit history, risk and users of the financial statements. Over $2,000,000 in revenues will have an accountability, legal compliance, and financial audits (also single audit if spend over $500,000 in Federal funding). Between $2,000,000 and $200,000 will usually be limited to an accountability and legal compliance audit. Less than $200,000 will usually have an audit assessment – However, must complete and return the questionnaire!!!

    11. Sample Questions Do you have something that rates accounting software packages? We are currently using ACCPAC and would like something better. Can the Port prepare cash basis financial statements if they have historically prepared financial statements that follow GAAP? We are considering becoming our own Treasurer. We are a small Port with 5 employees. I double as the Finance Manager and Auditor. Could I also be the Treasurer? Do you have guidelines, duties of the Treasurer?
