As financial pressures persist, university administrators across Canada increasingly rely on data and benchmarking to support sound decision-making and long-term sustainability.
CAUBO compiles a series of four sector-wide indicators of financial condition for members. These financial ratios highlight strengths and potential vulnerabilities and can serve as a valuable baseline for setting priorities and guiding institutional strategy.
The Financial Health Dashboard has been updated to include indicators from 2011–12 through 2023–24. The dashboard allows users to compare indicators nationally, provincially, by institutional size, or with selected institutions. Its flexible format supports tailored analysis of financial trends and conditions.
A comprehensive Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is also available to explain the indicators, their value and limitation.
The Financial Health Dashboard and MD&A are available to Senior Finance and VPFA members only.
