Because of our size and decentralized structure, it is necessary to survey certain populations across the university to validate our fiscal practices and procedures. The mandatory fiscal certification and assessment process is designed to gather that information. Each year, employees from your campus and from system administration will work to identify a representative population to provide that valuable input.
Fiscal Assessment - assigned to individuals who have significant fiscal roles & responsibilities. Generally, these individuals have direct oversight of fiscal activities for their respective programs, projects, or work areas (ie., chairs, directors, department administrators, or principal investigators). Completion of the Fiscal Assessment is required for the assigned population.
Fiscal Certification- assigned to officers or individuals with equivalent responsibility. High-level overview of the University's fiscal practices and must be completed annually by all Officers of the University.
If you have been identified as part of this mandatory population, you are required to complete either the fiscal assessment or the fiscal certification by the due date established by your officer at the beginning of the process.
