Proposed Policy Change

The Aston Public Library Board of Trustees are considering a policy change to remove the following sentence from the Library’s Financial Policy-

“The library accounts shall not be reviewed by the same audit agency/auditor for more than five consecutive years.”

This change will be up for vote at the November 18th 7PM Board of Trustees meeting here at the library.  The meeting is open to the public.  Public comments may be made by commenting on this post or using the “Contact Us” link on this site.

The purpose of the change would be to ensure the library can pursue the most efficient and economical option for its accounting services.
