The Operational Finance & Enterprise Governance Office (OFEG) partners with leaders across Administration & Operations and the university to drive strategic, data-informed decisions.
Home
The Office of Operational Finance & Enterprise Governance (OFEG) strengthens George Mason University’s strategic, financial, and operational decision-making by guiding how leaders align capital construction, technology, space management planning and enterprise project oversight within a unified institutional framework. OFEG fosters disciplined analysis, transparent processes, and consistent portfolio visibility that collectively enable shared governance - building Structured Trust across leadership, divisions, and stakeholders.
Through rigorous standards, university-wide engagement, and data-informed insights, OFEG enables decision-makers to align resources with Mason’s academic mission, long-term priorities, and Tier 3 compliance obligations. We promote a culture of accountable planning and coordinated execution that supports coherent, scalable, and student-centered growth across the institution.
Core to our mission, we exist to define and sustain the governance processes that bring clarity and shared understanding to how the university evaluates, prioritizes, and monitors major initiatives. By integrating financial, operational, and governance insights, we help leaders navigate complexity, support disciplined execution, and stay focused on institutional priorities, ensuring that recommendations and project outcomes reflect diverse perspectives, aligned expertise, and robust information to advance the university’s mission.
