NYS Audit Committee Chater Guidance
To accommodate the varying needs and circumstances among school districts,
membership of the audit committee may be structured in any of the following
configurations:
•
As a committee of the board;
•
As a committee of the whole board; or
•
As an advisory committee that may include or be comprised entirely of personsother than board members, if the board deems that such composition is advisable
to provide the requisite accounting, auditing and financial reporting knowledge.
Although audit committee members are considered district officers for certain limited
purposes, they need not be residents of the district. This can help ensure that the
committee has the appropriate level of knowledge. Committee members serve without
compensation but are allowed reimbursement for any actual and necessary expenses
incurred in relation to attendance at committee meetings.
