The audit will look at how the state keeps track of the largely cash-based industry, including the effectiveness of its financial regulations, whether regulators are keeping close tabs on the amount of marijuana produced and whether the state provides timely and appropriate guidance to marijuana businesses.
In a letter over the summer to Gov. Kate Brown, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions raised concerns about how effective the state has been in cracking down on the notorious black market for marijuana. Sessions will be in Portland on Tuesday, scheduled to talk to law enforcement officials about immigration and other things.
