Governance and regulations
Principles of financial governance
- Autonomy goes hand in hand with responsibility, flexibility goes hand in hand with planning.
- Academic departments manage their resources self-dependently.
- Academic units are granted more flexibility in favour of teaching and research. Service units (service departments, staffs, extra-departmental teaching and research facilities) are managed on a business management basis.
- Financial resources have to be managed integrally and actively to support teaching and research.
- Infrastructure und risk management are a task of central units and of academic departments.
