Finance Website

About the Website

With its launch in May of 2023, the new Finance website consolidated a variety of unit specific websites into one umbrella site. The content is a collection of processes, procedures and financial governance resources for the units reporting to the Vice President/Deputy CFO and Assistant Treasurer. These units include Financial Planning and Analysis, the Controller and areas reporting to the Controller, Business Operations and Business Management.

While responsibility for the functionality of the site rests with the Business Operations area, responsiblity for site currency rests with each Finance employee. It is critical for efficient operations that site content reflects current processes, procedures and policies. Edits, updates and other necessary site corrections should be directed to the Site Coordinators listed below.

Ideas for new content, significant page redesign or access to make direct site edits should be directed to Angie Delworth as site manager.

Site Manager: Angie Delworth, Director of Finance Training and Communication, Finance and Business Operations

New search functionality implemented in April of 2025 improved search capabilities when searching within Double Accordions on the Finance Website. When the new Finance website was created, “drop down” accordions were used to reduce the number of actual web pages needing maintenance and also reduce the need for users to scroll on pages with a lot of information. However, a downside of the Double Accordion is that the content within the accordions were not searchable. A web search could generate a result that took the user to the page containing the information in an accordion, but the user would then have to visually search for the information within each accordion. 

The new functionality improves searching in two wasy. First, on pages where Double Accordions are in use, ‘Expand All’ buttons will open all of the accordions for easier searching on that page.  Second, when searching from within the Finance website, search results will capture information contained within a Double Accordion. When clicking on the search result, the user will be taken to the page and the specific accordion with the information will open.

This functionality will only work from within the Finance website. Please contact Angie Delworth with any questions about this information.

A direct link to information within a Double Accordion can be created with an easy web address edit.  This new functionality will be helpful when a user wants to direct someone to a specific piece of information.  Users should follow these instructions to create the web address:

  • Navigate to the page with the information you wish to share.
  • In the web address window, add a backward slash ( / ) to the end of the address (if one does not already exist).
  • Then add the pound sign (hashtag) and the title of the specific accordion with hyphens between each word: /#name-of-the-accordion (all lower case).
  • For example:  “https://www.purdue.edu/treasurer/finance/operations/accounts-payable/paymentworks-resources/#why-paymentworks“
  • Test the new address in a new browser window.
  • The user can then send the web address to the individual.

This functionality will only work on Finance webpages. Please contact Angie Delworth with any questions about this information.
