Finance Internal Advisory Team (FIAT)

Charge

Budgets are an important element in maintaining adequate controls and management of financial resources to achieve the institutional goals and objectives established in the strategic planning process. Fiscal success is measured by the efficient and effective use of resources towards advancing the College's mission. FIAT reviews, evaluates and prioritizes general fund and capital budget requests based on the College's values, goals and objectives. FIAT will provide a report prioritizing general fund and capital budget requests as a recommendation to the College President for consideration.
