Accounting

Welcome to the website for Accounting at Cal Maritime!  As one of the University's major operational departments, we proudly support Cal Maritime's vision for "excellence."

As the University's center for finance operations, Accounting is committed to customer service and business integrity and to providing high-quality and prompt customer service to our students, faculty and other staff who serve our students, and the community that supports our campus.

• Identifying regulations and other fiscal compliance requirements that must be adhered to, and implementing policies and procedures to ensure campus compliance.
• Proper and timely processing of all cash receipts and disbursements.
• Billing of all funding sources including the State of California, external grantors, third-party sponsors of students and many others.
• Processing student fee payments to the University as well as financial aid receipts and disbursements back to our students.
• Financial and compliance reporting to numerous internal and external customers.
