This committee will hold its first meeting at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 24. Refer to the Room Schedule for exact room. Some District Directors will serve as advisors to this group. One will preside over the opening meeting and will ask the group to select the chair, who must be an appointed member of your committee and an official Convention voting delegate.
Your chair will present the committee's first report to the Convention in the Second Business Meeting on Friday afternoon. Additional time has been set aside in the Fourth Business Meeting on Saturday afternoon for final action on the report and recommendations. This committee is responsible for informing the Convention of all background information it needs to act upon your report and recommendations.
Our fiscal year ends July 31. Crowe, a certified public accounting firm, finally completed the 2019-21 audit work in June 2023. A new firm, LBMC was engaged to complete future audits. The 2021-22 was completed in June 2022. Work on the 2022-23 audit is scheduled to be completed in September 2024. The audit will be made available as soon as it is complete. The 2023-24 audit will commence in October 2024.
The complexity and size of Tau Beta Pi's business operations, resulting from our steady growth and program expansion, makes it difficult for anyone to understand (in a short time) the full significance of our extensive financial transactions and reports. Treasurer Michael Hand III, Executive Director Gomulinski, and Director of Finance and Operations Mike Brown are available on-site to help you gain an understanding of our financial position and operations. This committee is charged with reviewing the Association's financial condition and reporting it to the entire membership through the Convention.
Please provide electronic copies of all files, motions, reports, and proposals to the Convention Chair and Executive Director via email (tbp.convbus@tbp.org) prior to the Business Meeting when a report will be presented.
