Soon after becoming president of Utah Valley University, President Sederburg appointed a task force representing all areas of UVU with the charge to develop a management model to link the planning and budgeting processes of the campus. The task force developed a new, more comprehensive management model called Planning, Budgeting and Accountability (PBA). This annual PBA process now guides UVU in its strategic planning for the immediate future, in allocating resources for the next fiscal year and in verifying accountability of previously funded commitments. The graphic above illustrates the annual PBA cycle.
