In February 2013, the Board of Education established an Audit Committee with the primary purpose of fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities per district policy DIEA by:
- Monitoring the district’s financial reporting process and internal control systems;
- Recommending the district’s independent auditors;
- Reviewing and appraising the audit efforts of the district through financial reports and other financial information used internally and provided by the district to any governmental body or the public; and
- Coordinating with the Financial Oversight Committee to review, assess, and analyze impacts of proposed financial management policy and process changes.
The committee has three members, including two Board of Education members, and a representative from the Financial Oversight Committee. The Superintendent, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Director of Finance shall attend meetings in an ex-officio capacity to the committee.
Annually, the Audit Committee submits a report to the Board of Education. The report provides background on the Audit Committee, committee responsibilities, a list of committee members, and a general update of committee activities respective to the committee’s responsibilities.
