Finances/Budget

Unit 4

Our Finances Unit sees FUAS in numbers: staff, equipment and laboratory facilities, office supplies and numerous other things generate costs. The university budget is made up of state funding, EU grants and via industry projects.

The five main areas the work on the Finances Unit is split up in are procurement, assets accounting, accounting, the office for payments and project accounting.

Procurement

The purchase of goods, licenses and services of all kinds is handled by our central procurement. This begins with obtaining quotations and ends when the goods are delivered – unless a complaint needs to be made, in which case the procurement department will also provide support if necessary.

Assets accounting

The inventory of FUAS has to be documented and recorded. For this purpose, inventory stickers are created and inventory lists are kept. These lists are also used to record when inventoried items change their location. If something is defective or no longer state of the art, it is discarded. An inventory is made of the different units and faculties at regular intervals.

Accounting

All invoices addressed to FUAS are checked here for their formal correctness.  If everything is as it should be and the authorised member of staff has assigned the bill to an account and signed for it, the accounting team initiates payment. All of FUAS’ income and expenditures are recorded here.

Payment office

Any cash payments made to or by FUAS are made here, this includes enrolment or late fees, fees for authorised copies etc. Payments such as these are recorded here and taken to the bank.
