Colleagues,
Please join me in congratulating the Project Banner On Board (BOB) team on the successful launch of Banner Finance this month. After over 12 months of intensive work, including development of a new chart of accounts for the University, we are now using Banner Finance to process Fiscal Year '08 transactions. Thanks to all who have worked tirelessly to launch this system on time and on budget.

Banner Finance will offer USF budget managers and directors new web-based, self-service tools. The Office of Planning, Budget & Review will be coordinating training in this area in the months ahead. For more information about the new chart of accounts, please visit the Business & Finance website at http://www.usfca.edu/busfin/html/foapal.html

It will take some time to become familiar with this new set of financial tools, so please let us be sure to be patient with one another as we all adjust. Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

James L. Wiser
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
