Recharge/Service Centers: Everything you Need to Know

What is a Recharge Center? A recharge/service center is a unit within UVA which provides non-profit goods and/or services of a specialized nature to other UVA users on a recurring basis and charges a fee for those goods/services. Operations that are set up as recharge/service centers are designed to recover the costs of their operations, primarily through charges to internal UVA users. Both UVA revenue-generating policies and federal government policies must be adhered to in the establishment of developing cost-based rates to users . Come join us for a presentation and Q&A session to answer all your questions. You can register using the link, but it is not required for attendance.

Certified Corporate* Financial Planning and Analysis Professional (FP&A) Training Program and Annual Conference
October 23-26 in Orlando, FL

This training program and certification, offered by the Association for Finance Professionals (AFP) is designed for practitioners who perform or manage financial planning and analysis functions including  budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, financial/strategic planning, and financial analysis. Although “corporate” is in the title of the certification, it is not industry specific and is applicable to finance professionals in all sectors.

The FP&A training program includes the FP&A learning system, exam registration, and 2 years AFP membership, and will be offered to UVA employees for $2,000 each. As you plan for your professional development for the coming year, this may be worthwhile.

AFP also has an annual conference. This year’s conference will be held October 23-26 in Orlando, FL, and if we have multiple attendees, the price is discounted.

If you’re interested in hearing more about either the certification or the conference, email pam5w@virginia.edu.
