On January 22, 2008, the Seattle Port Commission created the Special Investigative Committee to undertake an investigation of findings in the State Auditor’s 2007 Performance Audit that identified areas where the Port of Seattle may be vulnerable to fraud or where fraud may have occurred.

The report is divided into four sections: (1) Findings of fraud, (2) Findings in which laws or policies were violated, but no fraud was established, (3) Findings in which neither violations…
