The Finance Committee has responsibility for providing oversight of the Society’s fiscal policies, financial operations and reporting processes in order to maintain the integrity of the Society’s financials. It fulfills its charge by reviewing requested financial reports to ensure sound fiscal practices and the financial sustainability of the Society. It reviews the Society’s investment portfolio performance, investment policy and cash management program, and staff recommendations to the Board regarding the selection of investment advisors or audit firms. The Committee reviews and recommends to the Board the annual budget of the Society, as well as the audit report and its findings. It reviews all material written communication from the auditors and proposes to the Board solutions for any matters that may be noted as a result of the audit. The Committee periodically reviews the employee benefit plans of the Society.
