At St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, governance and accountability is a commitment shared by the Board of Trustees, employees, and faculty. The Board of Trustees plays an active role in overseeing the integrity of the Seminary's financial statements as well as ensuring financial accountability. For many the years the Seminary has had audited financial statements prepared by an outside external auditing firm. These statements have always been made available to the public. Copies of the most recent years of audited financial statements can be accessed on this site .

The seminary's Board of Trustees is independent, experienced, and diverse.  Its membership, drawn from the various Orthodox jurisdictions that the Seminary serves, includes clergy and laity distinguished by their achievements in such fields as finance, business, media, law, medicine, and education. In addition to participating in regular meetings of the full Board, trustees express their commitment to the Seminary and its mission through service on various Board committees, thus enabling the Board to govern more effectively.
