  • Provide management with assurances that the resources are being properly applied for the achievement of the University’s strategic plan and objectives on a sustainable basis
  • Ensure the proper and transparent use of finances and resources in a manner that satisfies the requirements of internal control and fulfils any legal or financial obligations as laid down by:
    • Statutes and Ordinances
    • Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
    • Office for Students (OfS)
    • Research England
    • Other relevant authorities.

The regulations are approved by the Council of the University of Liverpool as recommended by the Planning and Resources Committee following endorsement by Audit Committee.
