Support for Finance Transformation

AST serves as a Shared Environment for the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and is the initial point of contact for CAS units with finance and supply chain questions. With the launch of Workday Finance, we will also help CAS units perform transactions such as requisition processing, travel and expense entry, and invoice generation, as well as post-award grant analysis and reporting. We’ve compiled a set of resources and FAQs to help answer questions about the transition to Workday Finance.
