Audit Committee Information

The Audit committee is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and plays a role in overseeing and advising on audit activities (internal and external) performed for the County. The Audit Committee consists of

• One representative from the Board of County Commissioners
• Four to six public members
• Two department heads (traditionally one of the department head positions is held by an elected official)

Audit Committee terms are two years long and are staggered so as to not have all of the committee members turn-over in any given year. Members may be re-appointed to successive terms. The County Administrator is an ex-officio nonvoting member.

Audit Committee Meeting Schedule and Locations:

Meeting dates sometimes vary, but are normally on the second Friday of even numbered months. If necessary, additional meetings may be scheduled. Unless otherwise indicated, all meetings occur at the Deschutes County Services Building at 1300 NW Wall Street, second floor Allen conference room. Meeting agendas are normally available two weeks in advance of meetings. Minutes for held meetings are available once approved.

Meeting agendas, materials, and minutes can be found in the links section below.

Periodically, the Audit Committee has positions available.  If you are interested in future volunteer opportunities with the committee, please email Elizabeth.Pape@deschutes.org.
