(ASI) are in order, (3) to review and determine whether or not to accept the audit, (4) to ensure that any non-audit services performed by the auditing firm conform to standards of auditor independence, (5) and to approve the performance on non-audit services by the auditing firm.

The Finance Committee shall hold hearings on all proposed accounts and shall refer its budget recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall act on the Finance Committees recommendations and send them to the University President for approval.

Funding/Expenditure Approval Process

1. Prior to requesting funding or expenditure approval, please contact the ASI Board of Directors Treasurer to set up a meeting to discuss your agenda item.
2. In your email please provide a detailed description of your request, the importance of it being on the agenda for the Finance Committee meeting. Please specify if the request is time-sensitive, as you may also have to get BOD approval.
3. Turn in all documentation by 5pm the Wednesday before the Finance Committee agenda you would like to be placed on. If the Treasurer has not met with you and received all your documentation by that Wednesday, you will not be place on the following Thursday’s Finance Committee agenda. Exceptions to this rule will be considered on a case-by-case basis, such as holiday weeks or unexpected circumstances resulting in extreme time-sensitivity.
