The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) Board of Trustees met Oct. 19 and acted to accept a clean audit, fill a vacancy and support legislation.
The association received a clean slate from its auditors, WithumSmith+Brown, for financial transactions in fiscal year 2018. The auditors said they will issue an unmodified opinion, which is the best kind of opinion that can be bestowed. The audit confirms the association’s financials are free of misstatements, that its financial reports have been conducted with accuracy and transparency, and that all policies and procedures are up-to-date with current accounting standards. The association has a roughly $11.6 million annual budget to serve its 18,200 members and offer hundreds of educational programs through the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education.
