Office of the Controller

Welcome to Office of the Controller!

The Controller's team provides services to the WPUNJ University community, facilitating smooth financial transacting and reporting for faculty and administrators. We ensure compliance with the University's external financial reporting requirements, internal financial policies and procedures, and for the transactional activities of all funds, including grant and tax-exempt bond funds. In addition to management of general accounting, accounts payable, banking and investing, we oversee risk management activities, including insurance policies and the State of New Jersey tort claims process. 

The Office of the Controller website displays pages for the functional areas within the Controller's Office. These pages offer descriptions of our operating functions along with links to relevant forms, policies and procedure documents. The intent of this website is to provide clear communications about how to use our services and to provide user-friendly access to the forms, policies, and procedures necessary to ensure operational efficiency, transparency and compliance in the University's financial transacting and reporting.

Feel free to contact us for inquiries or assistance with our services.
