Purchase & Contract Reporting
The Value of Purchase & Contract Reporting
Purchase & Contract reporting is about diving into the university’s spending data, purchase records, and invoices to see the bigger picture of where our funds are going—across different categories, suppliers, departments, or projects. This deeper understanding helps Liberty University make informed decisions as a team, negotiate better deals with our suppliers, and work together to optimize how funds are used to continue to be good stewards of what God has given LU.
