W.O. Smith Music School is fortunate to have talented and diverse board and advisory board members. Members of both boards actively provide governance and advice. They include leading attorneys, bankers, HR professionals, insurance executives, educators, music educators, music industry professionals, non-profit managers, volunteer teaching artists, and many former officers and past presidents of the school. While most governance issues are overseen by committee, we have a continued deficiency in the segregation of duties and internal controls in financial reporting. The audit and finance committees continue to monitor and consider the cost effectiveness of obtaining services to enhance the current financial reporting. The committee has been satisfied that the assistance auditors have provided to convert yearly accounting records to GAAP based financial statements meets our current needs. Our auditors are satisfied with our procedures and the measures that have been taken to mitigate short comings as well.The Executive and Finance Committees continue to monitor financial procedures and consider changes as necessary.
