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
