Information for Staff

Management Accounting

Much of the work in this area is at a corporate level. This includes the preparation of the Financial Plan, consolidation and submission of planning data to the funding council, compilation of the detailed annual budget and production of comparative statistical data. The Director of Finance must also provide regular monitoring statements and financial advice to Council and its committees.

Other Services Rendered and Research Grants Projects:

Other services rendered and research job numbers are allocated on receipt of proposal forms so that all income and expenditure can be matched to projects. Advice is available for the preparation of bids for projects, especially in relation to external funding. Arrangements are also made for vetting and auditing various grant claims. For queries relating to other services rendered and research contracts please contact the relevant Managment Accounts staff member  Department Management Accountants 

Budget Monitoring:

At department level, detailed management accounts are produced indicating performance against budget at account code level. In accordance with strict procedures, budgets are constantly updated and users informed accordingly. All users also receive regular visits from Finance Department staff in order to ensure that monitoring statements are being received, understood and used. For queries relating to budget maintenance please contact the relevant Managment Accounts staff member  Department Management Accountants 

Budget Planning:

Advice is available for all budget managers for the purpose of the preparation of their business plans. This is particularly important in the area of other services rendered and research grant contracts where markets can be volatile. For queries relating to budget planning please contact John Sharp, Head of Management Accounting.
