CSU Pueblo finances and accounting are governed by three separate rule sets:

• CSU System Fiscal Rules, applicable to all CSU System Institutions
• CSU Pueblo Financial Rules
• CSU Pueblo Financial Procedure Instructions

The purpose of these Financial policies is to assure accountability and transparency of CSU Pueblo finances, provide campus accounting officers with direction and guidance in connection with accounting transactions, and provide procedures and reports that should be uniform throughout the Colorado State University-Pueblo.

The Financial policies should not be considered all-inclusive. Rather, accounting officers also should be guided by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by NACUBO's Financial Accounting and Reporting Manual for Higher Education, by Statements issued by Governmental Accounting Standards Board, and by applicable law.
