In accordance with the Tla’amin Administration and Finance Law (“the Law”), the Finance
Committee (the “Committee”) provides the Executive Council and the Legislative Assembly with advice
and recommendations to support the decision-making process respecting the financial administration of
the Tla’amin Nation.
Specifically, the Committee assists the Tla’amin Government in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for
the financial reporting process, the system of internal control, the audit process, and the process for
monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and the code of conduct. The Tla’amin Nation is seeking interested candidates to fill one or more seats on the Committee.
Requirements:
- Individuals have financial competency as described in the Law. Financial competency means the ability to read and understand financial statements that present accounting issues reasonably expected to be raised by the Tla’amin Nation’s financial statements.
- Individuals are independent. An individual is independent if the individual does not have a direct or indirect financial relationship with the Tla’amin Government that could, in the opinion of the Legislative Assembly, reasonably interfere with the exercise of their independent judgement as a member of the Finance Committee.
Members of the Committee are recognized, appreciated and compensated for their time. Meetings are
held approximately every two months and include the review of financial statements and
business plans referred by Executive Council. Members of the Committee will be provided
honoraria for their time, along with reimbursement of reasonable expenses.
