Chin to retire from Financial Services

Ben Chin, director of Financial Services, will retire from UC on March 31.  At his retirement, Chin will have served UC for a total 22 years, including 6 years with ANR.

In 1990, he joined the UC Davis Internal Audit Office, where he specialized in IT audits and investigating white collar crimes until 2001. He worked for the California Department of Finance, auditing Water Bonds and Prisons, for 4 years. In 2005, he returned to UC Davis in Accounting and Financial Services until he moved to UC ANR in 2009.

“We will miss Ben's service-oriented work ethic and hands-on solutions oriented approach in his director's role with ANR,” said Jake McGuire, controller.  “While Ben's retirement comes during a time of major strategic financial and business initiatives and implementations, we are fortunate that Ben has agreed to come back on a part-time basis to assist on major projects underway.”

Effective March 1, Jing Yu, manager of Financial Services, will succeed Chin as ANR's interim director of Financial Services.  Yu is a California Certified Public Accountant with a master's degree in accounting and over 14 years of business, finance and accounting experience in the institutional, corporate and public accounting firm sectors.  

“Jing has been with ANR Financial Services since 2013 and has a track record and proven ability in taking on greater responsibility and in achieving strategic business objectives,” said McGuire.
