Welcome to the VP Finance & Operations portfolio
The nine divisions of the VPFO are responsible for the stewardship of UBC’s physical and financial assets, as well as safety and risk management for our university community.

In all the portfolio’s responsibilities, we are committed to the values of innovation, unity and accountability.
