The duties of this committee are to oversee the financial aspects of the Unit. The committee sets a budget and audits the financial books at least two times per year. Accounting of the Unit funds should be kept separately–General and Rehabilitation, although the Unit can maintain one bank account. Rehabilitation funds can only be used for VA & R and Children & Youth.
Key Program Statements:
The National Risk & Compliance Committee is charged with assuming an independent oversight and advisory role, with the responsibility for decision making resting with governance. It reviews policies that are designed to mitigate threats to our organization and provides perspective in areas that could be potential risks, if not effectively identified and managed. Its members understand that safeguarding our organization requires having, and following, proper procedures for oversight, internal controls and a system for checks and balances.
