Financial Training

Reliable financial information is essential to effectively manage the business of the University and protect its assets. These learning resources address the responsibilities everyone has for managing the finances and reputation of the University. The financial business process owners (BPOs) partner with the Financial Training team to create and provide training for the community.

Finance Operations Center

In late 2023, as part of the PEAK Initiative, the Finance Operations (FinOps) Center was established to create a more efficient, equitable, and consistent way to deliver services to the University system. Supported units request services online. See Types of Financial Service Requests (pdf). Units not supported will continue to enter transactions into EFS. Eventually, FinOps Center services will be available to all University units. See Finance Course Catalog FinOps Center (pdf) for current courses.
