Who administers FBLA finances and provides the annual audit?

• A. The association president and chief executive officer.
• B. The member chapters.
• C. The national treasurer appointed by the board.
• D. The local chapter treasurers.

Answer: (A)

In FBLA, financial governance is centralized with the association’s top leadership. The association president and chief executive officer are responsible for administering the organization’s finances and ensuring that an annual audit is conducted. This placement of responsibility creates a clear, consistent standard for financial policy across all chapters and provides accountability directly to the governing board and members. The president and CEO coordinate with the finance team and external auditors to prepare the financial statements, review internal controls, and present the audit findings to the board. While local chapters manage their own finances and the national treasurer handles day-to-day financial work, the authority to oversee finances and authorize the annual audit rests with the president and CEO.
