As one of the campuses of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), East Los Angeles College participates in the budget planning of the entire District. The President and Vice President of Administrative Services are actively involved in districtwide budget meetings, which discuss the funding base for the fiscal year and the financial resources and revenues made available to LACCD from the State of California which becomes the budget allocation for the campuses like East Los Angeles College. Once the allocation is received from the District Office, ELAC prepares the budget plans in consultation with the Vice Presidents of Academic Affairs, Workforce Education, Administrative Services, and Student Services. Other funding sources received from the federal, state, county, and local governments are carefully planned and distributed according to guidelines received from the funding sources. All funds received by the college are carefully planned to support the mission of the college and all its educational programs and goals for the success of every student at ELAC. Budget plans are adhered to, implemented, and monitored on a periodic basis to comply with federal, state, county, and local governments’ laws, rules, and regulations and to ensure that they are in line with policies and procedures of the District Office and the campus.

18. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY. East Los Angeles College undergoes an annual audit by outside independent auditors hired by the District Office. The results of the audit together with its recommendations and exceptions are evaluated by the District and campus management and complied with. The audit report can be found in the college President's Office and in the District Office. 19. INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING AND EVALUTATION. The college creates a Strategic Master Plan, including an Educational, Facilities and Technology Plan, every six years. These plans reflect ELAC’s strategic priorities, goals and action plans and are developed through an integrated system of research, planning and shared governance subcommittees with committee members representing various college constituencies. The Research and Planning Office is currently establishing measures for all college goals and objectives in order to monitor the progress made in all college planning venues. The results of these measures are intended to be a basis for continued college planning and the decision-making processes. Course and Program SLOs, College Core Competencies and Institutional SLOs, and District-established Core Indicators are also utilized as measures of college progress and student success. A six-year cycle of Comprehensive Program Review with annual program review updates are also used to evaluate the programmatic progress towards achieving departmental goals establishing SLOs and determining areas in need of improvement. All recommendations are approved through the ELAC Shared Governance Council and made publicly available. The college also has a Viability Review structure in place to assist the college in determining whether existing programs and services are meeting their stated purpose and the college’s mission and goals. The overall institutional planning structure and process is developed, evaluated, and revised as needed on an ongoing basis by the Program Review and Viability Committee. 20. PUBLIC INFORMATION.
