Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut is seeking individuals with business acumen to serve as Finance Committee volunteers. The commitment is approximately one hour/month. 

A volunteer finance committee is responsible for overseeing the financial health of the affiliate. Their key responsibilities include: • Maintaining accurate and complete financial records: Ensuring all financial information is accurate and prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards. • Preparing and presenting accurate financial statements: Providing the board with timely and meaningful financial information to aid in decision-making. • Monitoring budget adherence: Regularly verifying the accuracy of financial information and investigating significant variances. • Developing internal controls: Creating and ensuring compliance with internal controls and policies to protect the organization's assets. • Overseeing audits: If the organization does not have a separate audit committee, the finance committee is responsible for the audit.
