The campus Core Instructional Budget is comprised of accounts in the State Purpose Fund with initial allocations established annually via the institutional budget development process.
At any point during the year an account manager may request a permanent or temporary reallocation of funds in order to maintain positive balances in budgetary categories. Budget Reallocations are requested by submitting a Budget Transfer Form.
The institutional budget process for Buffalo State’s Core Instructional Budget (State Purpose Fund accounts) is administered annually. After initial budget allocations are established in the annual budget process, Business Intelligence (BI) can be used by account managers throughout the year to monitor financial activity at the account level.
Please contact the Financial Management Office if there are any questions.
