Audit Committee Call for Volunteers

The AAPS Audit Committee advises the Board of Directors on accomplishing its fiduciary responsibilities. AAPS is now seeking volunteers with a basic understanding of financial documents and internal controls to serve on the committee from September 2025 to September 2027. The ideal applicant possesses both integrity and an unbiased perspective.

The Committee’s responsibilities include:

  • Recommending annually an independent auditor to the Board, including the auditor’s compensation, to conduct an external audit of AAPS’s financial statements
  • Determining the independent auditor’s scope of work
  • Overseeing AAPS’ annual independent audit of its financial statements
  • Reviewing the draft independent audit, including the management letter and auditor comments; discussing such matters with the independent auditor as appropriate; and presenting to the Board for review and acceptance
  • Reviewing the Form 990 prior to its submission to the IRS
  • Considering and reviewing with AAPS management the adequacy of AAPS’ risk management methodology and internal controls; assessing steps management should take to minimize such risks; and periodically reviewing compliance with those steps
  • Overseeing policies and procedures for encouraging whistleblowers to report any questionable accounting or auditing matters
  • Presenting an annual Audit Committee report to the Board

Application Deadline: July 29, 2025, at Midnight ET.

*Attention: AAPS members are prohibited from serving on more than one AAPS Committee at a time to ensure that many voices from the membership are represented in AAPS’ governance and in the selection of science and programming. 

Members will not be considered for roles on other committees until their term is complete.

Members may participate in short-term volunteer activities (e.g., task forces, moderating a session, serving as a mentor) at any time, regardless of their service on an AAPS Committee
