Equity in Financial Management

At its core financial management is about the allocation of resources. It is not neutral. We make choices, and choices can reinforce structural inequities. If you value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, your financial management processes and decisions can and should reflect these priorities. These resources can help you consider how your organization’s commitment to equity shows up in the finance function.​
