PeopleSoft Finance System
The CSU system uses PeopleSoft Finance as its accounting software. It is sometimes called CFS, short for Common Financial System. PeopleSoft Finance has been configured for the CSU structure to manage funds, budgets, reporting, etc. through the use of chartfields. All employees need to have a basic understanding of Stanislaus State’s chart of accounts because all financial transactions and activities (e.g., buying and paying for things, getting reimbursed for business and travel expenses, managing funds, etc.) utilize this accounting structure.
