User applicability/data needs

How likely are departments to need this tool?


very likely

If you have general fiscal responsibilities at the University, you need to use the m-Fin reports in the Cognos Reporting System, CU-Data, to perform basic financial management tasks (financial review and reconciliation, budgeting, and forecasting).

Purpose/strengths

The Office of University Controller (OUC) has been charged with developing financial reports in CU-Data. The University’s official internal financial statements are all produced in CU-Data.

On an ongoing basis, the OUC designs and develops additional reports in CU-Data to suit the common financial management needs of campus departments. The m-Fin (management-financial) brand is used to distinguish the on-demand reports developed for this initiative. The m-Fin reports are Cognos technology, intended for internal CU use, drawn on financial data from the CIW, tuned for performance with reasonable run times, and developed with input from CU administrative financial data users.
