CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Please note that Tennessee Poison's Center Community Board is an Advisory Board, rather than a Governing Board. There, some policies, such as conflict of Interest, are not applicable. Tennessee Poison Center is governed by Vanderbilt University Medical Center with financial oversight authority of the VUMC Department of Finance. Strict accounting measures are applied to the financial management of the Poison Center. KPMG Peat Marwick performs an external audit every year for the entire Vanderbilt University hospital. Although the Poison Center is not specifically identified, one should note on page 1 of the Independent Auditor's Report, that the Hospital's financial statements fairly present the financial position of the Hospital. |
