Committee Scope:

The Finance, Contracts & Grants Management (FCGM) Committee meets every third Wednesday of the month during the months of January through October. During the months of November and December, the Committee meets on the second Wednesday. Meetings begin at 2pm.

The FCGM Committee advises on contracts and grants implementation, execution, amendments and compliance. The Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial health of the organization by reviewing monthly financial statements and reports by the Chief Financial Officer. The Committee reviews all financial audits and monitoring reports by LAHSA’s funding partners and oversees LAHSA responses to findings, if any. If appropriate, the Committee recommends mid-year budget corrections to the Commission. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the annual single audit and reporting the fiscal condition of LAHSA to the Commission. Further, the Committee is responsible for understanding the administrative and programmatic fiscal resource requirements of LAHSA and, if appropriate, making the Commission aware of the need for additional resources.
