Auxiliary Accounting Services

Auxiliaries are legal (nonprofit corporations) business entities that have been established and organized by the CSU pursuant to the California Education Code. An auxiliary’s primary purpose is to support the university mission by providing programs, activities, fund source used to furnish facilities, goods or services to faculty, staff, or incidentally to the public. Even though they are corporations, they are first and foremost auxiliary organizations of the CSU and must therefore operate pursuant to the specific statues and regulations applicable to auxiliary organizations. The campus CFO is the single campus officer designated to ensure auxiliaries maintain sound systems of internal controls and remain in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including nonprofit law.

Stanislaus State has four auxiliaries:

All Auxiliary financial transactions are handled in the same manner as University financial transactions.
