Finance and Audit Committee

 

The Finance and Audit Committee shall be responsible for developing the annual Society budget, and reviewing and authorizing internal and external financial audits as required by applicable laws or as otherwise deemed necessary to effectively provide oversight for the Society’s financial status and integrity. The Finance and Audit Committee shall provide financial reports, recommendations, and guidance to the Board of Directors. 

The Finance and Audit Committee has approved setting aside a portion of its net assets to establish a strategic initiative fund. The purpose will be to provide one-time or start-up funding for new projects judged by the Board to be of strategic importance. If the project is envisioned as a long-term source of funding for SSH, then the time frame for generating excess revenue to repay the Strategic Initiative Fund initially and eventually to support the SSH Operating Budget should generally not exceed three to four years.
