| Although the Finance Office is organised into sections, our specialist staff work seamlessly across teams to manage and oversee the University's finances and provide the following professional services: - Business, commercial and financial advice Each department has a nominated Finance Manager who is the link to the Finance Office. As well as being the point of access and referral to our services, the link officers provide invaluable advice, support and guidance on all finance related matters, including on budgeting and planning, developing business cases, and preparing submissions to University committees. They also meet regularly with staff in the departments to analyse and help solve financial issues and overcome obstacles to growth. - Financial accounting and reporting We make sure that the University remains financially compliant. Staff in the Finance Office are responsible for managing the University’s financial reporting structures and prepare the annual financial statements, and submit annual returns to a range of external bodies such as HESA and HEFCE. We also control the five-year planning process; consolidating, reviewing and critiquing individual plans, and prepare, consolidate and review the quarterly management accounts and revised forecasts. | ||
