CU Finance Division - Office of the Treasurer

The Columbia University Risk Management Department's primary responsibility is to develop guidelines, programs and policies & procedures to address strategic, enterprise level risk management exposures that can impact the university's ability to achieve its stated research, educational and business sustainability objectives. We also have direct responsibility for the management of traditional hazard risks which hold the potential of creating a material adverse financial impact on the university. (Note: Risk Management is not responsible for developing or monitoring of credit, market/financial or liquidity type risk exposures.)

The Columbia University Risk Management Team executes its duties by consulting and collaborating with nearly all University operations as they seek to address the risks that may negatively impact the achievement of their department specific goals and objectives.

Leadership and excellence in promoting Columbia's overall risk management goals while striving for continuous improvement and 100% client satisfaction is the basis for our service model.
