Employment and Finance Committee

The specific financial remit of the Employment and Finance Committee includes overseeing the financial strategy of the University through review of financial performance and recommending the annual budget and five-year forecasts to the Board. The Committee plays a key role in reviewing the Financial Statements and recommends these to the Audit Committee for subsequent scrutiny prior to Board adoption. Contracts of £2m or more are also approved by the Committee.

The Committee considers and approves the University’s financial policies and regulations, including the Treasury Management activities of investment and borrowing. In addition, the Committee considers and approves fees charged by the University for its academic programmes and University accommodation, and monitors the financial performance of the Students’ Union. As well as on-going estates and capital project initiatives, the Committee plays an increasing role going forward in overseeing the development and delivery of the University’s IT Strategy.
