Board of Audit and Management

The Board of Audit and Management is an independent body comprised of five commissioners. Working alongside Student Council and the Newcomb Business Office, the Board ensures that the Student Activities Fund is expended in accordance with Student Council and University policies. The Board has the authority to administer audits of any CIO receiving appropriations and may conduct interviews when deemed necessary.

Elected Positions

Representatives are elected every Spring in February through University-wide elections. All student elections are managed by the University Board of Elections.
