Audit Committee

The Audit Committee insures, as best as possible, that all financial transactions for the church and the Havens Center have been recorded in the financial records and included in the appropriate financial reports for the year.  The committee's job is either to organize an external audit or to perform an internal review of the financial records of the parish.  If an external audit is done, then the committee is the liaison between the Church, Havens Center, Vestry, Audit firm and Diocese.  Otherwise, members of the committee are responsible for reviewing the financial records.  If an internal review is done, the audit committee will consists of at least three people appointed by the Vestry.  These people cannot be involved with any financial or accounting transactions during the period being reviewed.  If you are interested in this important aspect of St. Stephen's, please contact Martha French (audit@ststephenshouston.org) or the church office at 713-528-6665.
