Approved by the Township Board of Trustees in April 2018, the Financial Advisory Committee to the Township (FACT) has one main goal: to provide structured systemic review of the organization's governance, risk management, and internal control practices.
The FACT Committee includes residents who are registered voters, at least 18 years old, and have knowledge of advisory roles, finance, IT, the law, risk, and internal controls.

Two members of the Committee will be appointed by the Oak Park Township Board of Trustees to an initial three-year term and a subsequent two-year term.
The remaining members will serve up to two two-year terms. Meetings are held quarterly; all FACT meetings will be subject to the Illinois Open Meetings Act.
