Ad-hoc Joint Task Forces
Forensic Accountant’s Task Force
The Task Force on the Forensic Accountant’s Report was formed in September 2020 by the USFFA. This representative Task Force was charged with educating our members and allied groups about the findings of the Report, and their implication for the USFFA July 2020 Agreement with USF Management.
The specific tasks are:
1.) To educate members and the wider USF community about the choices that University Management is making about the allocation of resources as represented by the budget; and
2.) To engage members and our allies in considering other scenarios that better reflect our priorities as an educational institution committed to supporting students, staff and faculty.
3.) To identify where we still need information in order to have a more complete understanding of the university’s finances and budgeting and to encourage discussion and transparency.
