A scathing state audit of West Covina's finances found massive bookkeeping errors and questionable spending of taxpayer money.
Auditors, in a report released Thursday, found the city lost potentially millions of dollars and allowed questionable spending on city credit cards.
Among the findings, the controller said that the city lost $1.04 million by not following the law during a sale of city land to a developer who planned to build condos on the parcel.
Auditors also found that city officials failed to collect more than $1 million in legal costs for workplace litigation that West Covina was eligible to seek.
