To view the table of Financial Roles, refer to the Organizational Hierarchy, Roles, and Responsibilities section of the Financial Management Guidelines.

NOTE: Business staff members are responsible for entering and maintaining Role Assignments within their organization for any roles in the org hierarchy below their assigned role. For example, a College/Admin Business Officer (Org L3) should enter Role Assignments for applicable Org L4 roles within their Org L3, i.e., Department Heads and Department Business Coordinators.
