What we are about:
The Insight Financial Team is committed to improving the way we extract and report financial data, such as Penn State's appropriation request, operating budget, actual expenditures, Stairs-Rhoades Bill information, and Instructional Productivity (Snyder) Report. We are developing a PC-based financial database which will allow faster, more efficient data retrieval. We are also converting many of our reporting systems to dynamically generate web pages. More about our office
What we have done:
Fact Book Financial Website
  • Developed website detailing operating budget and appropriation request information.

Public Accountability Website
  • Created website with links to operating expenditures, operating budget, employee headcounts, salary data, and travel expenditure reports.

University Budget Office Website
  • Created website with links to operating budget, actual expense and income detail, including archived historical data, and Penn State's common data set website.

Financial Data Base Working Group formed after Financial Team Retreat.

  • Goal: To develop a single data source which would be platform independent, serve most of our reporting requirements and reduce time lags present in our current data processing environment.
What we plan to do:
  • Continue Financial Database Working Group Development.
  • Begin development of a new version of Monthly Operating Budget report from new Financial database.
  • Begin development of a new version of Actual Expense and Income report from new Financial database.
  • Convert University Budget, Public Accountability, and Factbook websites to use new Financial database as data source.
