Financial Administrators’ Forum (FAF)

The Financial Administrators’ Forum (FAF) is organized by Financial Services and held semi-annually. The intent is to provide information on financial guidelines, as well as policies and procedures that affect the University community. Topics for each FAF session differ and may include presentations of new and/or revised policies and procedures, introduction to new and/or improved applications and other important announcements.

The sessions are presented by members of the Financial Services Department and by invited speakers. Each session is followed by a question and answer period.

For those unable to attend, the handouts and PowerPoint presentations, as well as audio recordings are available below:
