Finance System Survey and Feedback Session
The Finance Business Transformation Programme (FBTP) are seeking views from all the staff across the University who are involved in any financial activities (both recipients of the financial services or users of financial systems). Staff are able to give their opinions by signing up to one of the feedback sessions planned over the next couple of weeks or completing the online survey by 4th November.
The aim is to collate all views about the existing financial activities at the University, identify needs in regards to financial services and ultimately help to design better financial solutions. If you have any questions, please contact fbtprogramme@admin.cam.ac.uk.
