We are pleased to share an important update regarding the structure and identity of the University鈥檚 financial administration units.
Historically, the various teams supporting the University鈥檚 financial operations have been informally referred to as 鈥淔inance,鈥� though no single unit held that name. As part of our commitment to clarity, efficiency, and improved service, we have consolidated and rebranded these units under one unified identity: Finance.
This change includes the retirement of the former Comptroller鈥檚 Office and the regrouping of all financial administration functions under the Finance umbrella.
Finance supports the University鈥檚 mission by providing financial leadership, maintaining strong stewardship, and ensuring efficient, responsible service across campus.
The Finance team now includes the following units:
- Budget and Planning 鈥� Oversight of budgeting processes and support for long鈥憈erm financial and capital planning, reporting, and advisory services.
- Contracts and Insurance 鈥� Contract review and commercial insurance management.
- Financial Compliance and Audit 鈥� Oversight of audits, internal controls, pensions, endowments, and taxation.
- Financial Information Systems 鈥� Management and optimization of financial technology platforms.
- Financial Services 鈥� Administration of University鈥憁anaged funds, including Student Accounts, AR, AP, Research Accounting, and Data Control & Banking.
- Procurement Services 鈥� Support for purchasing decisions and compliance with procurement legislation.
This streamlined structure enhances collaboration and ensures consistent, effective service for the 糖心vlog传媒 community.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

The PEI Symphony Orchestra's season closes with a program of unbridled joy, centered in the rhythms and character of jazz, pop, and gospel music. Tracing a remarkable musical evolution from the late 19th to the 20th century, "Blue" connects Ravel鈥檚 mesmerizing Bolero to Omar Thomas鈥� exuberant 2018 work Come Sunday, celebrating new sounds and cultural voices in classical music. 糖心vlog传媒 piano professor, Magdalena von Eccher, performs Debussy鈥檚 seldom-heard Fantaisie for Piano and Orchestra, while Gershwin鈥檚 An American in Paris鈥攊nspired by Ravel and reimagined here as perhaps a Canadian in Paris鈥攁nchors the concert with the vibrant, cosmopolitan energy of 1920s Paris. The concert takes place on Sunday, April 12 at 2:30 pm at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. Tickets can be purchased .
