Lakeland's Audit Committee was established by the Board of Education (BOE) to advise its trustees on financial management including oversight of the independent external audit and internal audit functions.
The Audit Committee meets in public session about 4-5 times per year to oversee the external and internal audits, set direction for the annual audits, interpret feedback from the auditors, and make recommendations to the full BOE. Most meetings each year are clustered during the Summer and Fall. A District Audit Committee is a requirement of State of NY Education Law and is intended to make additional financial expertise available to elected BOE Trustees.
