The Audit Committee of the Wikimedia Foundation represents the Board of Trustees in its oversight of financial and accounting issues, providing advice and counsel based on the experience of committee members in business, financial and accounting matters. It also serves as Board-level oversight of the relationship with the independent auditor (currently KPMG). Committee members serve one-year terms, typically beginning at the start of the fiscal year. The committee may include representatives from the community, advisory board, or outside advisors. |
|||
The Audit Committee can be contacted privately at audit-l{{@}}lists.wikimedia.org. Public feedback may be left on the [[m:Audit Committee|Meta-wiki]]. |
