Planning and Controlling Centre

The Centre supervises and coordinates processes aimed at supporting the effective financial management of the University. Thanks to our activities, the University can effectively forecast revenues and expenditures, which allows for better planning and allocation of resources. The Centre has developed and implemented a budgeting and controlling system at the University based on Business Intelligence solutions.

Our main tasks include:

• Forecasting revenues and expenditures: Accurate forecasts allow for better management of the University's resources.
• Budget development and implementation:  We draw up the University's material and financial plan as well as sub-budgets, which are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with the set objectives.
• Cost allocation: Accurate allocation of costs to the appropriate departments and units helps to control expenditure, reduce losses and avoid reporting errors.
• Coordination of financial reporting: We ensure that reporting is timely and complete.
• Management control: We coordinate management control, which increases the transparency and accountability of the university's activities.
• Formal and accounting control of documents: We support processes related to scientific and research activities financed from subsidies, the organisation of scientific conferences, as well as the commercialisation of scientific research results and research services provided on behalf of external entities.
• Financial and accounting system administration: We support the system administration in order to optimise accounting processes.
