About the Audit & Finance Committee

The Audit and Finance Committee (“Committee”) is established as a Standing Committee by the Board Members (each, a “Board Member” and collectively, the “Board”) of the New York City Housing Authority (“NYCHA”) pursuant to NYCHA’s By-Laws for the primary purpose of assisting the Board in connection with:
  1. fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for (a) the qualifications, independence, and performance of NYCHA’s independent auditor (“Independent Auditor”), (b) the performance of NYCHA’s Internal Audit and Assessment Department, and (c) the conformance of NYCHA’s financial statements and financial reporting with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”); and
  2. reviewing NYCHA’s audited financial statements and accompanying auditor reports, and voting on whether to recommend their approval by the Board.

NYCHA shall provide the Committee with reasonable access to its management personnel and non-management personnel, including access to their documents, books, and records pertaining to NYCHA. The Committee shall also have reasonable access to NYCHA’s independent auditors.

The Committee may request NYCHA’s management personnel, non-management personnel, and independent accountants to attend a meeting of the Committee.

The Audit and Finance Committee currently consists of three members: one is a Board member and the other two are independent members (neither NYCHA employees nor Board members): (1) Mr. Victor Gonzalez (Vice Chair of NYCHA); (2) Mr. Mark Kaplan; and (3) Mr. Richard Kuo.
