- With the help of Technology Services (TS), we bring budget information to budget managers via the Budget Administration Web application.
- We provide budget managers with detail budget worksheets and, with the help of TS, load the returned worksheets into the Banner Finance system.
- We provide information, including accounting and budgeting assistance, to faculty and students with Puget Sound and externally funded research and enrichment grants.
- We account for donor gifts and the university's endowment fund in support of the Office of University Relations' fundraising and stewardship efforts.
- We coordinate the university's annual independent audit and prepare a variety of published financial reports.
