Mission Statement
The mission of the Finance Department is to manage the fiscal
affairs of the Hillsborough Transit Authority and to provide
effective decision-support for HART leaders and executives. The
department must endeavor to administer a financial plan that is
integrated with and supports the service delivery strategy of
operating departments and the HART Board. The department of finance
is responsible for administration, treasury management, budget,
accounting, financial reporting, grant accounting, fixed asset
management, procurement, and risk management.
Goals:
• Provide timely and relevant information to the HART Board to
enhance decision-making and promote the long-term financial well
being of HART. Obtain or produce relevant operating,
revenue-performance and economic forecasts to support the decision
process.
• Administer record keeping methodologies and reporting systems
that will ensure compliance with GAAP, federal and/or state
mandates, disclosure rules and contractual or legal requirements.
• Participate with the Executive Director towards implementing a
climate that furthers HART’s centralized decision-making policies;
yet at the same time fosters accountability and appropriate
financial controls.
• Safeguard HART’s financial assets such as cash negotiable items
through the establishment of banking relations and development of
recommended procedures for cash and deposits handling, electronic
payments, EFTs and so forth.
• Manage HART’s financial assets and liabilities with the
objectives of safeguarding principal, achieving market-based returns
on assets while remaining within appropriate risk parameters and
