Financial Training

Reliable financial information is essential to effectively manage the business of the University and protect its assets. These courses and materials 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.
