Financial Oversight Committee

The Financial Oversight Committee was established in December 1999. The committee typically meets monthly throughout the school year with the primary function to assist the Board of Education in fulfilling its fiduciary oversight responsibilities per district policy DIEE and DIEE-R by reviewing:

  • financial reports and other financial information used internally and provided by the district to any governmental body or the public; 

  • the district's system of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that management and the Board have established; 

  • the business risk of the district; and

  • the district's accounting and financial reporting processes generally.

Consistent with this function, the Financial Oversight Committee should encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to the district's policies, procedures and practices at all levels.
