The Vice President for Planning and Finance Management reviews (with designated campus officers) changes made to the current year’s budget to ensure that the basis upon which the next year’s allocations are made reflect a recognition of all on-going commitments, changes in levels of anticipated income, actual use of allocated resources, and organizational changes.
Reason for Policy
To adjust the base budget file for all permanent changes as dictated by the changes in needs or reorganizations.
