The Finance Improvement & Transformation initiative, also known as UNC FIT, seeks to strengthen the control environment and align UNC people, processes and technology throughout the multi-campus University. These goals will be accomplished by implementing process improvements in key areas within a short timeframe (previously referred to as Short Term Improvements). We have also begun projects to improve the data systems used to manage financial operations (previously referred to as Long Term Improvements) including the development of data management standards and processes to promote data integrity as well as the centralization of certain back office financial operations.
The current UNC FIT process improvement initiatives are in the areas of Contracts and Grants, Financial Aid, and General Accounting.
The current UNC FIT data system improvement initiatives are in Data Analysis & Management and Human Resources/Payroll.
