Welcome to the California State University Financial Officers Association's (FOA) Homepage. The primary purpose of the FOA is:

• assist the CSU, under the direction of the Chief Administrative/Business Officers (CABO), in planning, developing and communicating new and improved policies and procedures related to accounting and budgeting issues. Advise the Chancellor's Office on the implementation of these policies and procedures.
• provide a means to collaborate with the Chancellor's Office staff to review and comment upon proposed legislation and regulations and to help shape the CSU responses.
• plan and facilitate continued personal and professional development and training of financial officers and their staff in the CSU.
• provide collective, proactive leadership in support of the CSU and/or individual campuses in the development of creative and innovative programs through optimum use of technology designed to deliver cost effective, value added, financial services to campus customers.
• provide a forum in which the collective professional concerns of the Financial Officers of the CSU can be shared and explored with the Chancellor's Office.
• establish a consortium for the discussion, development and interchange of knowledge, information, skills and methods for solving accounting, budgeting, and related problems encountered by its membership.
