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.  
Employees in positions subject to certification through the Administrators’ Fiduciary and Leadership Essentials (AFLE) course have a direct reporting relationship to the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance.  Those employees must report either potential or actual 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 perceived non-compliance.  
 
Careful review of any applicant for employment by an employee subject to certification through the AFLE course will help ensure that the individual possesses the requisite knowledge, skills, and ability to comprehend, implement and adhere to the principles of UNMC Policy No. 8012, Principles of Financial Stewardship. The Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance will participate in any future searches for an applicant who will report directly to a dean, department chair, or institute director and will only approve that selection when such applicant is suitable for the position and also appears to be suitable for certification through the AFLE  course.
