Our Director of Finance together with the British Universities Finance Directors Group (BUFDG), is encouraging Universities to align their annual report and accounts to the International Integrated Reporting Standard. By embracing this standard and the virtuous cycle of integrated thinking and reporting we are confident that a more efficient and productive allocation of resources can be achieved creating value over the short, medium and long term.
During the year we were pleased to collaborate with BUFDG and six other leading UK universities in their Integrated Reporting review and as a result the structure of this 2015/16 report more fully reflects the integrated relationships and thinking that is driving the University forward and that will act as a force for both academic and financial stability and sustainability.
