Financial Advisory Committee

The Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) is a Board of Education advisory committee. The purpose and membership is outlined in Jeffco Board Policy GP-07. The committee meets eight to nine times over the course of the school year, receiving presentations from senior staff in financial services as well as other departments. Their focus is to:

Provide independent review of core financial reports and provide fiscal recommendations to the Board
Encourage continuous improvement of procedures, policies and practices within the district financial management areas
Appoint a representative to the Audit Oversight Committee, whose oversight purview is more specific to internal and external audit and internal controls

The board appoints up to seven Jeffco community members to serve on the FAC. The board prefers individuals with a working familiarity of finance, a mix of professional backgrounds, independent of the district and preferably residents of Jefferson County or a portion of Broomfield County served by Jeffco.
