propriety of the project financial statements submitted by the North

accounting records, financial procedures, and controls as we considered

performed primarily at the Portland and Seattle Districts

to the attention of responsible district officials and resolved during
our audit   In addition, we identified several areas where procedures
affecting the financial records could be improved
