Financial Policies
Mary Baldwin University (‘MBU’) is committed to creating a framework of effective financial control and management, and formal guidelines and requirements for the operation, monitoring and reporting of MBU’s financial activities. MBU is also committed to a formal budget process which governs the generation, monitoring and regular reporting of actual numbers vs. budget numbers.
To ensure that MBU is utilizing sound budgeting practices and operating with appropriate financial controls, MBU has developed and published a set of formal financial policies as outlined below.
These policies are intended to represent standards of best business practice, fiduciary and governance responsibility, and adherence to all applicable accounting standards and regulations, as well as all relevant SACSCOC financial standards and policies, program accreditation financial requirements, federal and state financial guidelines and regulations, and all other external guidelines and regulations applicable to MBU. These policies are administrative policies, managed by the CFO and the President, under the fiduciary responsibilities of the Board of Trustees.
These policies have been communicated to all employees of MBU, and adherence to these policies is now required. Ensuring strict adherence is the responsibility of all Budget Officers, Department Heads, Cabinet, the CFO and the President. This list is subject to amendment and additional policies will be added as/when needed.
