Training

CFO 400 – Fiscal Responsibility for Leaders at UF

TEAM UP! TO REVIEW ACCOUNTS How can you, in your role as a leader, safeguard your funds and design structures to enhance fiscal accountability? Do you have a standard practice in place to prevent fraudulent activity that all of your 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 the individual’s team involved in the reconciliation process.  Join other campus leaders to discuss the process of reconciliation and leadership’s role in the process.  Hear the expectations on reconciliation from the CFO’s Office and 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.

Strongly Recommended: This session is designed in a team format, and the department leader should attend with their business administrator and any other fiscal staff involved in monthly reconciliations.  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 ideas on structures that work to achieve this within your area and for your team.
