Applications Due September 8 for 'Community Member' Position on Audit Advisory Board

TACOMA, Wash. -- The Tacoma City Council is looking for applicants with experience in government performance and financial auditing, public administration, and government financial and fiscal practices to fill the "Community Member" position on the Audit Advisory Board (AAB).

The AAB supports the City Council's Government Performance and Finance Committee (GPFC) in carrying out its audit advisory, oversight, and liaison functions. These functions include:

• Ensuring coordination of audit needs of the City Council and the work of independent auditors retained by the City to audit City programs, functions and activities
• Making audit management recommendations to the City Council
• Acting as a liaison between the City Council and the office of the City Manager with regard to audits of City programs, functions, and activities that are not under the direction of the City Council

The AAB is comprised of each member of the GPFC, two members of the Utility Board, and one community member with the knowledge listed above. The Chair of GPFC serves as Chair of the AAB. The AAB typically meets quarterly.

The City is committed to fostering an equitable and anti-racist organization and wants its committees, boards, and commissions to reflect Tacoma's diverse community. For these vacancies, BIPOC individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals with disabilities, seniors, immigrants, and refugees are especially encouraged to apply.

Additional information on the Audit Advisory Board is available here.

Appointed applicants are required to complete Open Public Meetings Act and Public Records Act trainings provided by the Washington State Office of the Attorney General within 90 days of being appointed to a committee, board, or commission.
