Welcome to the Web site of Cornell University's Division of Financial Affairs (DFA), Cornell's central finance management function, led by Vice President for Finance Joanne M. DeStefano. 

DFA's vision comprises three components: "Partners, Stewards, Innovators."  "Partners" recognizes that with Cornell's decentralized organization, success depends on effective cooperation with staff and faculty. "Stewards" reflects DFA's focus on responsible policies and practices that safeguard the university's finances.   As "Innovators,"  DFA constantly looks for better ways to deliver financial services.
