What's New
At York University, budgeting isn’t just a once-a-year exercise — it’s a dynamic, evolving process. The Budgets and Asset Management (BAM) team is committed to continuous improvement.
Initiatives underway in 2026-27 include: Budget timelines, Capital Budget, and Planned discontinuation of the fees for service model.
Service Commitments
Beginning with the 2026–27 budget cycle, the University has launched a Service Commitment Framework to help ensure our shared services consistently deliver what matters most: a strong student experience. Developed in collaboration with the SHARP Working Group and informed by community feedback, the framework makes central service delivery clear, strengthens accountability, and supports continuous improvement to ensure that our resources translate into excellent, reliable service for students, faculty, and staff.

Anaplan Budget System Implementation
To advance York University’s commitment to strategic financial management and operational excellence, York University has invested in a budget system modernization project divided into two phases. In phase 1, launched in November 2025, the project delivered all the processing of SHARP 2.1, cost driver methodology and data, and revenue data tables necessary to successfully produce the budget envelopes and shared services budget requirements.
In Phase 2, once approval for additional funding is obtained, the project will progress to include the following new modules:
- Position Planning and Budgeting module (with potential integration with ARMS and Peoplesoft HR data)
- Budget Submission module
- Forecasting module
- Budget modelling/analytics
- Budget reporting including drill down reporting
- Workflow for strategic funding requests (University Fund and University Budget Council Funding)
Design planning for this phase will involve a working group comprised of volunteers involved in budget development from our Faculties and Shared Services areas. Watch for a call out for volunteers in the future.
New budget envelopes were produced from Anaplan for the 2026-27 budget cycle. Once phase 2 is complete, budget holders will be able to access this information directly in the budget system through their own login.
