Standardizing financial processes and accountability with the Division of IT

Wide flat-style illustration showing standardized financial processes and accountability, featuring organized charts, documents, gears, and financial icons arranged across a white background to represent clarity, structure, and consistent workflows.

An essential factor in achieving our strategic goals is effective financial management. The Division of IT has many capable professionals in finance and accounting positions, but previously these individuals were embedded within operational units, which presented challenges in communication and shared purpose. By consolidating and aligning finance and business teams under the Office of the CIO, while also increasing staffing in those areas, the division can manage financial processes more effectively and efficiently, ensuring consistency and accountability across the organization.
