Dear all,
The Wikimedia Foundation has an Audit Committee that supports the Board in
overseeing financial, accounting, and risk reviews. This includes
reviewing the WMF's annual financials and tax return, its annual
independent audit, and its risks analysis.
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Audit_Committee
We are forming the committee for 2015-16, and looking for volunteers from
the community. Members serve on the committee for one year, from July
through July. An audit of the past year's financials is carried out
August-September, the WMF files its U.S. tax return in April, and publishes
its annual plan in June.
Time commitment is roughly 20 hours over the course of the year. Reviews
are done through 3-4 conference calls. The primary requirement is
financial literacy: experience with finance, accounting or auditing.
If you are interested in joining the committee for the coming year, email
me at *sj* at *wikimedia.org <http://wikimedia.org>* with 'Audit Committee'
in the subject, your CV, and thoughts on how you could contribute.
Sam

Hi dear (former) treasurers,
As you are often the people concerned by internal control, I'm forwarding to you the email which I sent on wikimedia-l@ yesterday.
In case you are interested in this topic, or have questions about the document or our process, drop me a message :)

> Subject: [Wikimédia France] Conflict of Interest policy
>
> Dear movement fellows,
>
> Here is my (almost) monthly email ...
> You can find on Commons <s>everything</s> the new policy of Wikimédia France about its Conflict of Interest and governance: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gestion_des_conflits_d%27interets_W…
>
> So far, we did not have any conflict of interest issues but we wanted to formalize our good practices and make them mandatory and public.
> The internal control group (3 board members and the Executive Director) has issued the document, and the Board of Trustees has just approved it after reviews.
> Thanks to Asaf with his talk last year during Wikimedia Conference, we integrated some of the "What's the benefit? What's the relationship?" in it!
