The University Accounting Office oversees the financial resources of the university. We coordinate and maintain an integrated system of accounting, and analyze and report on program accomplishments in financial terms. We ensure compliance with federal and state accounting and tax regulations. We also coordinate the enforcement of the university's fiscal policies and procedures.
