California State University Channel Islands will exercise fiscal responsibility over all funds appropriated to and/or deposited within the campus. Appropriate fiscal responsibility includes but is not limited to the following:
- Ensuring that expenditures and expenditure commitments do not exceed available resources
- Ensuring that funds are expended for the purposes, and within the time periods, intended
- Ensuring that internal controls are applied to protect campus funds from misuse
- Ensuring that all receipts and expenditures are correctly classified to meet external reporting requirements and to provide for internal management reporting
- Ensuring compliance with all CSU and campus policies relating to the collection, deposit, and expenditure of funds
As part of its commitment to fiscal responsibility, the campus conducts several university-wide quarterly financial assessments—a three-month, six-month, and nine-month review—as well as a year-end closing review. Each financial assessment includes formal meetings with the following representatives:
- Division Vice Presidents
- Division Associate and/or Assistant Vice Presidents
- Division Budget Officers and/or Budget Analysts
- Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs/Chief Financial Officer
- Assistant Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs/Controller
- Assistant Vice President for Budget, Planning & Analysis/University Budget Officer
This fiscal responsibility aligns with ICSUAM Policy 2002.00 on Budget Oversight found on the California State University Chancellor’s Office website: ICSUAM Policy Number 2002.00 (requires myCI login). University-wide financial assessment documents and attendance records will be kept for a period of four years in accordance with the policy.
