With a budget of close to $13 billion, it is essential that the District’s financial experts provide exceptional oversite and advice to ensure that all of the District’s financial transactions are performed with the utmost accountability and transparency.  Key LAUSD financial functions include areas such as financial planning and budget services, accounting, payroll, treasury, and auditing.

Protecting the District’s assets by identifying risks, developing and managing programs to control and minimize losses, and promoting safe, healthy and secure learning and work environments is the responsibility of our Risk Management and Insurance Services Division. The Division carefully assesses and manages diverse types of risks that, if left unchecked, may have an adverse impact on the District as a whole.   Our Integrated Disability Management Department manages our reasonable accommodation program, the workers’ compensation function, our staff attendance initiatives, as well as our “stay at work” efforts; our Benefits Administration Team administers the District’s comprehensive health and welfare benefit plans, and our Risk Finance and Insurance Services functions oversee various insurance programs that aim to mitigate risks to our District.
