Southern Oregon University Procedures Statement
Business Services - Accounting/Controller's Office

The SOU Fiscal Procedures Manual (under development) is intended to serve as an on-line resource for management and staff in fiscal positions throughout SOU. The SOU Fiscal Procedures Manual will include links to applicable statutes, administrative rules, Board policies, and other SOU fiscal policies.  The policy FASOM sections will be transitioned and updated as time and resources permit. When this update process is complete, FASOM will no longer exist; all applicable fiscal policies will have been transitioned into the SOU Fiscal Procedures Manual.
