The Big Picture
![Page 4: UCD Finance Office/Accounting Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816332550346895dd3b8ef/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stewardship Obligation
The responsibility for sound financial management resides with every employee or affiliate who spends or manages university funds.
In general, the public nature of University funds and State requirements impose a more restrictive standard than that used in the private sector
![Page 5: UCD Finance Office/Accounting Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816332550346895dd3b8ef/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Fiscal Culture CU's organizational units obtain and utilize resources to
carry out the university’s missions, the financial impact of which is accumulated and summarized in the University's financial records.
CU is obligated to comply with numerous laws, policies, rules, regulations, and sponsor / donor requirements. External entities trust that the university's financial statements are complete and accurate, which cannot happen without the help of all employees and affiliates who have financial management duties.
It is important for all employees / affiliates to understand: the hierarchy of policies, procedural statements, and guidelines the driving forces behind our current fiscal culture, and the main
tenets of the related policies

Fiscal Culture Driving Forces - CU Regents and External Forces
The Regents of the University of Colorado sit atop our policy hierarchy, and create laws and policies that lower level policies, like APS, PPS, and campus-specific policies strive to support: Laws of the Regents https://www.cu.edu/regents/Laws/laws.html Policies of the Regents https://www.cu.edu/regents/Policies/index.html
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which influences best-practices in fiscal management, is the driving force behind many of CU's new and revised Administrative Policy Statements: Fiscal Roles and Responsibilities https://www.cu.edu/policies/Fiscal/Fiscal-
RolesResponsibilities.pdf Fiscal Code of Ethics https://www.cu.edu/policies/Fiscal/Fiscal-Code-of-Ethics.pdf Fiscal Certification https://www.cu.edu/policies/Fiscal/Fiscal-Certification.pdf Officer Disclosure of Interests https://www.cu.edu/policies/Fiscal/Officer-

Fiscal Culture Driving Forces – Transparency and Accountability

Gift Funds
Gift funds are financial awards received from external donors
Expenditures must be made in accordance with donor wishes, and must be in compliance with all applicable rules, regulations, policies, and procedures.
Online training is available at: https://www.cusys.edu/controller/documents/Gift_Training.ppt and is required for those with gift fiscal responsibilities

Internal Controls
Promote the use of sound business and financial management practices. One major control is achieved through proper
segregation of duties so that no single individual controls all (e.g. "create" and "approve") aspects of a financial transaction.
Another control is the review of monthly financial statements, whether burst or ad-hoc
