- Fiscal Responsibility for Leaders
- Instructor: Emily Moran, Tiffany Schmidt, and Gwynn Cadwallader
Department leaders are notified when this class is available and provided registration details.
How can leaders safeguard your unit’s funds and design structures to enhance fiscal accountability? Is there a standard practice in place to prevent fraudulent activity that all of the staff are aware of and understand? These sessions are designed for the person in the unit who is in a position of authority and who is ultimately responsible for the finances of the unit, as well as his/her team involved in the reconciliation process. Join other campus leaders and teams to discuss the process of reconciliation and leadership’s role in the process.
Hear the expectations on reconciliation from the CFO’s Office and Contracts & Grants as you consider the roles and structures needed in your area to ensure your unit has optimal safe guards against fraud. Explore processes or structures that can be put in place with your team and learn efficient ways to provide accountability and internal controls with your unit’s financials. This is a discussion-based session. We will share best practices and explore the challenges that emerge across campus. You will leave knowing what is expected for fiscal accountability and steps to take with your team to establish structures that will work within your area and for your team.
