Finance Committee
Mission: The Valhalla Management Association (VMA) Board of Directors Finance Committee promotes Valhalla Condominium's financial strength, efficiency, and transparency for the benefit of all owners. The Finance Committee provides oversight and guidance to Member Associations by reviewing the finances of each Valhalla Member Association and the Valhalla Management Association. The Finance Committee ensures VMA employees follow financial guidelines, meet Minnesota laws and community standards, and deposit funds into the correct bank accounts on time.
Membership: The Finance Committee brings together the Treasurers from all thirteen Valhalla Member Associations, along with the Master Board Treasurer. The Finance Committee is led by the Master Board Treasurer as Chair and is supported by the VMA General Manager as Secretary. All owners are encouraged to attend Finance Committee meetings to learn more about how Valhalla community funds are managed. Owners in attendance may observe the meetings without interfering in committee discussion and decisions.
Meeting Frequency: Meetings are usually held on the second Wednesday of each month or every other month, either in person or by video conference when needed.
Relationship: The Finance Committee reports to the VMA Master Board of Directors. The Finance Committee Secretary and Chair will prepare for each Finance Committee meeting a summary showing the financial status and any recommendations for all thirteen Member Associations and VMA.
Role of Finance Committee: The Finance Committee provides guidance and oversight for the financial management of all thirteen Valhalla Member Associations and the VMA, following Minnesota laws (MCIOA chapter 515B). Finance Committee goals are to promote financial responsibility, legal compliance, and open, transparent reporting for all owners and the Board of Directors. The Finance Committee works in the best interests of the entire Valhalla community, focusing on long-term financial stability and thoughtful decision-making to support the community's mission and future success.
The Finance Committee serves as an important system of checks and balances. The Finance Committee reviews financial statements, monitors budget trends, and recommends strategies to address budget shortfalls. The Finance Committee assists with developing long-term financial goals that align with Valhalla's overall financial policies to strengthen the financial health of every Valhalla Member Association across the community.
