The Accounting & Reporting Office is accountable for providing a comprehensive and auditable financial management system to support the instructional, student services and administrative needs of the college. This includes maintaining the fiscal internal control system, and reviewing purchase requisitions to verify that the appropriate account is used and sufficient resources have been budgeted. Additionally, the Accounting and Reporting staff detects and corrects any errors, works directly with program managers, department chairs and administrators to prepare expenditure reports for internal management purposes and to meet external funding agency requirements, and closes the books to prepare the district's consolidated financial statements.
