Audit Committee Gets to Work

At its May meeting, the Congregation Council appointed 3 members of St. Mark's congregation to serve on the Audit Committee. Barb Thomas was selected to serve as chair and Carl Hieber and Megan Eppleman as members.

The newly formed committee undertook their responsibilities with relish. A review of the accounts was begun within 2 weeks of the appointments.

Although the Congregation's constitution provides for an Audit Committee to oversee the finances of the church, the committee has not been active for several years, and the positions have been vacant. The committee serves an important function - to make certain that the church's expenditures are properly accounted for.

The committee members will serve a 3 year term, to June 1, 2013. The committee reports directly to Council, and will provide periodic reports.
