The Auditors are a Committee comprised of students that are nominally independent of the Association. They function autonomously of any directive from the Board, and provide the Board with an audit of the Association's finances. As such they ensure that the Association has not gone overbudget and enable the financially-sustainable running of Nexus
P O D C A S T
The Podcast Committee is responsible primarily for the production of the Nexus Podcast. They ensure that, if inclined, members can lend an ear to interesting geopolitical, environmental and current affairs discussions that have a legal aspect to them. The Committee focuses on researching any topics at hand, and then engaging in explorative and meaningful discussions about them with experts (such as Professors etc.). Therefore, they produce content of an auditory nature for the Association.
