Departments often ask us about the mission, responsibilities, and goals of the Office of University Controller (OUC).
You’ll find them all posted on the OUC website. From the home page (www.cu.edu/controller), click on the link at the top of the page to find our mission statement, roles and responsibilities, and a link to our org chart and FY 2013 goals. The latter are to:
Administer and enhance CU financial and reporting systems;
Establish internal controls to record, report, and safeguard assets;
On Feb 5 and Feb 13, the OUC presented its 3rd quarter in the FY 2013 CU CPE for CPAs Program. The combined days provided up to 13-1/2 credits (valued at almost $18,000) in continuing professional education for certified public accountants, auditors, and other employees. We were particularly pleased to welcome 21 new participants.Overall evaluations remain high, with 99% of attendees rating the instructors as effective, 98% agreeing that course content was relevant, and 100% affirming that learning objectives were met.
Our Finance Forms page (www.cu.edu/controller/forms) has a new member: the CAMSA, or Capital Asset Management-System Administration, form.
The new form is designed to improve the process of tracking and recording capital assets in the PeopleSoft Finance System, Asset Management module. System Administration staff should complete the form when a capital asset is purchased and submit it to the OUC according to form instructions.
This month our Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Program continued to bring no-cost professional development and CPE credits for CPAs, auditors, and other individuals.
On Feb 5, we had strong attendance in 4 new courses: Personal Tax Update; Revenue Recognition; Gift Fund Management; and Effective Presentations.
We just heard from our former intern, Kirill Buzinov – a student at the CU Denver School of Business and currently interning in the Office of the University Treasurer.
Kirill shared his recent 9News interview on UCD students’ simulated trading in gold, crude oil, and corn. The team is hoping to compete in international championships next month. We wish the best of luck to him and his team.
