Services Finances
Services Finances is responsible for the central staff functions of the Director of Finance and plays a key role in supporting the CFO and aligning strategic priorities. This includes preparing reports, analyses, and presentations to inform decision-making. The team also handles specific inquiries on behalf of the CFO, coordinates timelines for the preparation of the annual financial statements and budget, and takes on project-related tasks. Scheduling for the CFO also falls within this area of responsibility.
A key focus is on committee work. Acting as the key link between the Finance Directorate and committees, the team provides subject-related and organisational support to the Financial Assets Committee, the Financial Security Committee, and the Finance, Audit, and Risk Committee.
In the area of risk management, Services Finances coordinates the risk management system and develops methods for risk analysis, control, and management. The team continuously maintains and improves the internal control system (ICS) and oversees its review by external auditors to ensure compliance with internal control standards.
Other tasks include managing the financial aspects of appointments and coordinating budget transfers. The team also approves SAP authorisation requests to ensure secure use of the SAP systems.
