Objectives and Goals

The Kansas Water Environment Association Audit Committee’s objective is to provide an independent review of financial activities of the Association. The Audit Committee will provide an independent review of the financial records of the Association for conformance with the guidelines of the Association and normal and standard financial transactions. The committee’s review will be of a general nature only; it does not constitute a formal audit.

The review shall consider the activities of the Association, program, and financial activities required by the constitution & bylaws of the Association, directives of the executive board, and actions of the membership. The committee shall review the financial transaction records provided by the treasurer to determine if activities have been conducted in accordance with the directives of these groups and following generally acceptable financial procedures.
  • Prepare a report for the business portion of the annual meeting of the Association. The report will summarize the findings of the audit of the previous year’s financial activities of the Association and make any recommendations the committee feels are appropriate to improve financial procedures of the Association.
  • Assist the Executive Board as requested in reviewing any proposed financial transactions of the Association to confirm they are in accordance with the constitution & bylaws and policies of the Association.
