Budget & Financial Analysis

Strategic resource allocation and management begins with the University at Buffalo's mission, vision and goals. Our strategic plan defines how our mission will be carried out. 

Financial resources are aligned to fulfill the strategic plan via the operating budget, capital budget and debt policy. The Annual Operating Budget Report is a comprehensive presentation of the university’s budget and investment priorities. 

As resources are put into action we are guided by financial standards, business practices and internal controls. Key financial reporting and audits allow us to monitor results.

Key presentations aimed to educate and inform stakeholders are provided by the Provost and the Vice President for Finance and Administration.

Analysis and performance measures are utilized to evaluate ourselves among peers. 

The Office of Institutional Analysis (OIA) has the primary institutional responsibility for the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative information on the institution, its students, faculty, programs, public, practices and services. The office provides analytic support for planning, evaluation and policy initiatives of the Provost and senior leadership, and acts as the institution's reporting agent.

• The OIA University Reporting group converts transactional data from UB’s operational systems into official and strategic information used to support campus analytics, reporting and institutional research. 
• OIA Facts and Publications provide responses to frequently requested information.
