SANDAG Audit Committee Seeks New Members

SAN DIEGO, CA — The San Diego Association of Governments needs new members to serve on the SANDAG Audit Committee.

The organization is seeking three members and potential alternates.

"The members of the audit committee are responsible for holding this agency accountable and providing a voice for our residents," SANDAG and San Diego County Supervisor Chairwoman Nora Vargas said in a statement.

"This is your opportunity to make a change and provide input in important decisions that will affect the region," Vargas added. "We encourage qualified applicants from a wide range of communities and backgrounds to apply, as we all benefit from a diverse and inclusive membership."

The committee is tasked with making recommendations to SANDAG's Board of Directors regarding oversight of its independent performance auditor, annual audit plan, annual financial statement audits and internal control guidelines for the regional transit agency. The committee also monitors the implementation of any corrective actions arising from the audits.

SANDAG encouraged members of the public who have at least 10 years of experience as a certified public accountant, a certified internal auditor, or 10 years of other professional accounting, auditing, financial or legal experience in audit management to apply.

Committee members are unpaid, but SANDAG covers certain expenses to support their public service.

Applications for the position will be accepted through Aug. 15.
