CDV supports the function of every member of the NYU community as a steward of the University. It advances ethical conduct, operational efficiencies, and responsible management of resources though programs that help employees to

• better understand financial transactions and processes necessary to advance the missions of the University;
• know and understand those rules and requirements that apply to the University's financial operations; and,
• effectively use the systems and tools required to conduct the University's financial operations.

These programs involve the standardization of financial policies, multi-platform communications, and training/information activities delivered in various ways (in-class instruction, hands-on labs, theme-focused seminars, online tutorials, online references, one-on-one consultations, site visits, etc.).

These programs are developed and managed by the Policy, Communications and Information Programs unit within CDV.
