Financial Governance Structures and Processes

The University’s Cycle of Planning and Accountability document describes a systematic formal process for ensuring that the University monitors and accounts for its performance against its plans. It is integral to the University’s corporate governance system in that it reflects both external reporting obligations and internal management responsibilities. The Cycle of Planning and Accountability describes and schedules key steps in the annual planning process for reviewing, evaluating and reporting on performance, and assigns overall responsibility to designated office bearers for these activities.

The Financial Governance Structure and Processes document complements the Cycle of Planning and Accountability in articulating financial management responsibilities and the processes that support these responsibilities within the University devolved management structure.
