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.
