Washington law requires that the City of Bellevue publish a comprehensive annual financial report each year.  The report must conform to generally accepted accounting principles and be audited by the State Auditor's Office.

The financial report describes how the city uses its financial resources each year, and provides a picture of the city's financial condition at the end of the calendar year, which is also the city's fiscal year. The annual financial report is extensively reviewed by the State Auditor's Office to make sure it fairly represents the city's financial position. Each year's financial report is usually published by June of the following year.

Additionally, the city publishes a Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR), an easy to understand summary of the CAFR designed to inform the residents of Bellevue about how the city is doing financially.
