March Bulletin

This month, colleagues from across the University, including members of the Finance Department, welcomed delegates from Osaka University in Japan.

Our vision in Finance is to be world-class in everything we do, recognised as a trusted strategic partner in the successful delivery of the University’s academic mission.

As finance staff at the University, we are all committed to the academic mission of the University, and we’re exploring new and innovative ways we can have meaningful interactions with our student body.

Three Finance policies that have been updated, that may be relevant to you and your roles in Finance; our Expenses Policy, our Petty Cash Policy and our Petty Cash Procedure.

Stuart Graham tells us about his new role as the Head of Financial Information, Reporting and Strategy team in the Finance Department and how his team help the University to achieve a level of financial performance that supports our strategic plans. And of course life outside work, where he is kept very busy with his 22 month old son!

We are delighted to announce the appointment of a Research Training Accountant to focus on the skills and knowledge needed to support the financial management of Research Grants.
