If adopted, this Amendment would require the County Council to establish a performance auditing process for the purpose of reviewing the integrity of the county's financial management system, the accuracy of financial record keeping, compliance with applicable laws, and the efficiency of operations. This process will start by 2027, and will be performed by an independent contractor in accordance with accepted auditing standards. Starting in 2029, and every two years after that, the Executive must report to the Council on the implementation of recommendations from performance audits.
The Whatcom County Charter Review Commission has proposed an amendment to the Whatcom County Charter to establish a process for performance audits.

This process would be conducted by an independent contractor. The process would begin by January 1, 2027 and be performed afterwards as needed. The County Executive would be required to make a report to Council about the implementation of recommendations from the performance audit.
