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.
- identify and establish standards to facilitate communications and
reporting among membership.

CSU 101 - 2012
February 26-29, 2012
This year’s CSU 101 training will be held on February 26-29, 2012 at the Cliffs Resort in Shell Beach.
CSU 101 Provides a high level overview of topics that employees will encounter during their employment with CSU, including, for example: financial reporting, CMS, CFS and data warehouse, budget, banking and cash, human resources, capital planning, procurement, audit and ethics, auxiliaries, and CSU organization and policies. The program was designed as a combination orientation, training, staff development and an opportunity for the participants to establish business contacts. The program deliberately limits participation in order to accomplish the goal of focused information exchange and training, and to ensure attendees get to know each other and the faculty as contacts for questions/assistance in future years.
Registration is coordinated by each campus FOA Delegate. Refer to FOA Delegates Directory below for your campus's representative.
