| AdminHistory | This was formed in 1987 with the terms of reference of the Finance and Buildings Committee, which it suceeded, with the addition of a number of new responsibilities. It was responsible to the Council for the financial administration of all Institute activities, including research grants and contracts, trust funds, halls of residence and catering. It considered and made recommendations to the Council and the Joint Planning Committee on budgets, annual estimates and accounts, and kept under review the Institute's accounting and auditing policies and practices, and banking, investment and insurance arrangements. Through its Sub-Committees it was also responsible for overseeing all the Institute's buildings and halls of residence, and non-academic staff establishments and training. It approved the level of tuition fees, halls of residence fees, room lettings and all other fees and charges and reviewed the level of overhead charges on research grants, contracts and other projects. It annually reviewed the finances of the Student Union and approved its annual grant from Institute funds. It also approved the implementation of pay awards and kept under review the terms and conditions of service of Institute staff and, within certain limits, approved items of non-staffing expenditure. The Committee consisted of The Chair and Vice-Chair of Council, the Director, the Senior Pro-Director (later Deputy Director), two members from among the appointed members of Council, three elected members of Council, and one student member of Council, with the Secretary and the Finance Officer also in attendance. |
