Call for Interest: Members of Finance Committee

Call for committee members closes on April 25, 2025

In accordance with the 2016 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. Being a member of the Committee is not expected to be a significant time commitment. 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.
