Leaders must provide education and training, systems development, enforcement and support. Operating personnel have stewardship responsibility for safeguarding University assets under their purview.  Employees with responsibility for managing or updating financial systems must maintain the integrity of the financial transactions contained in those systems.

Employees in positions subject to certification through the Administrators’ Fiduciary and Leadership Essentials (AFLE) course are accountable to the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance and must report non-compliant financial activity to the Vice Chancellor or Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance, if prior reporting to supervisors did not properly correct the non-compliance. The Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance will approve the selection of an applicant to fill positions subject to certification through the AFLE course and that report directly to a dean, department chair, or institute director to ensure the individual possesses the requisite knowledge, skills, and ability to comprehend, implement and adhere to the principles of this policy.
