Financial governance is in the national policy spotlight with repeated warnings from OfS about prudence in forecasting, and a wide range of external risks to financial sustainability. Inside institutions, major strategic decisions are being made to manage in-year expenditure as well as review of longer term plans and financial commitments.

This webinar will explore what effective governance of institutional finances looks like when institutions are facing financial pressure. We’ll be asking exactly what boards’ financial responsibilities are and how best to discharge them, how to balance financials and mission, and the underlying issues when things go wrong.

Hosted by James Coe Wonkhe’s Associate Editor (Research & Innovation), with Joe Wall, Director of Finance at the University of Exeter and David Duncan, Chief Operating Officer and University Secretary at the University of Glasgow.
