Description

The Corporate Budget System (BUD) is the repository of all campus permanent budget information. Its purpose is to consolidate information from the campuses and provide budget data by fiscal year including campus starting balances, adjustments, transfers, and increments. The information is primarily used by Budget Office analysts at UCOP and the campuses. Campuses produce and submit files for BUD six times annually. BUD produces edit reports of campus files using its own tables as well as account and fund attributes extracted from the Corporate Account Fund Profile (CAF). Once the data is approved, BUD produces a suite of standard reports and the data is archived in the UCOP financial data warehouse
