The Financial Administrative Dashboards (FADs) are a suite of interactive reports to help UMBC units monitor their financial activity. Currently, the Financial Administrative Dashboards fall under two categories: Finance Summary Reports and Finance Detail Reports.
A complete list of reports can be found in the table of contents page.
Sponsored Project reports are currently being developed and will be announced in the coming months.
