Columbia University created a structure of vice presidencies for major divisions in 1949. This structure originally consisted of Vice Presidents in Charge of Educational Affairs, Medical Affairs, and Business Affairs. The Vice President in Charge of Business Affairs, which became the Vice President for Business and Finance in 1960, is the predecessor of the Office of the Executive Vice President for Finance.
Today, Columbia University Finance consists of several departments, including Treasury, Controller, Internal Audit, Procurement, Budget and the Investment Management Company. The Finance Division provides essential services for the support of students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the University.
