  • Audit and Compliance Committee

    Charter: The audit and compliance committee has oversight of all audit matters and all compliance activities, including ensuring sound fiscal and management policies and practices. It also provides oversight to ensure full compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

    The Audit & Compliance Committee (“the Committee”) of the Board of Regents (“the Board”) of The University of Houston (“UH”) System assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for:

    - Oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting and financial reporting practices, including the annual financial statements, and the system of internal controls;
    - Oversight and direction of the internal auditing function, any external auditors or other outside expertise whom the Committee may employ, and engagements with the State Auditor;
    - Oversight and direction for the System-wide institutional compliance function;
    - Oversight of the review of effective institutional management practices which provide for effective risk management, accountability and stewardship at all UH System components; and
    - Other duties as directed by the Board.

    The Committee’s role includes a particular focus on UH System’s processes to manage business and financial risk, and for compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements.

    Membership
    The membership of the Committee shall consist of not less than three regents, nor more than four. The Committee will have a committee chair, vice chair, and one or two additional regents, all of whom shall be appointed by the chair of the board. The chair of the board will serve as ex-officio for the Committee and will count for purposes of determining a quorum. A quorum is three for the Committee. One to four advisory members may be appointed to the Committee with the unanimous approval of the chair of the board, the chancellor, and the chair of the Committee. The advisory members will serve one-year terms from September 1 through August 31 and may be reappointed each year. Advisory members will not have voting authority.

    Reporting
    The Chief Audit Executive, System-wide Compliance Officer, and executive management shall provide periodic reports related to audit, compliance, and management review to the Committee. Any public accounting firm or other outside expertise employed by the Committee shall report directly to the Committee. The State Auditor’s reports will be submitted to this committee. The Committee is expected to maintain free and open communications, which shall include private executive sessions, at least annually, with these parties, as it deems appropriate and is permitted by law.

    The Committee chairperson shall regularly report Audit & Compliance Committee activities to the full Board of Regents, particularly with respect to:

    (i.) any issues that arise regarding compliance with legal or regulatory requirements and the performance and independence of internal and external auditing and assurance functions; and
    (ii.) such other matters as are relevant to the Committee’s discharge of its responsibilities.

    Education
    UH System executive management is responsible for providing the Committee with educational resources related to accounting principles and procedures, risk management, and other information that may be requested by the Committee. UH System executive management shall assist the Committee in maintaining appropriate financial and compliance literacy.

    Authority
    The Committee, in discharging its oversight role, is empowered to study or investigate any matter related to audit, compliance, and management of interest or concern that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate for study or investigation by the Committee. The Committee shall be given full access to all UH System employees and operations as necessary to carry out this authority. The Committee through its chair is authorized to engage outside expertise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, should it choose to do so.

    Responsibilities
    The Committee’s specific responsibilities in carrying out its oversight role are delineated in the Audit & Compliance Committee Responsibilities Checklist. The responsibilities checklist will be updated annually by the Committee to reflect changes in regulatory requirements, authoritative guidance, and evolving oversight practices. As the compendium of Committee responsibilities, the most recently updated responsibilities checklist will be considered to be an addendum to this charter.

    The Committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management, the internal auditors, the State Auditor, and any public accounting firm or other outside expertise they may employ in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. UH System executive management is responsible for preparing complete and accurate financial statements and for monitoring internal controls and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies and procedures. Any public accounting firm or other outside expertise hired by the Committee is responsible for performing the services specified in the hiring contract.
