Our Responsibilities

We regard ourselves as service providers for institutes and the university’s administration in all financial matters and for all topics in connection with procurement. Furthermore we prepare the university’s budget report.

At the moment, two of our bigger projects are the introduction of commercial accounting and the introduction of the SAP system.

Our Divisions

The university budget report is handled by the Division for Budget and External Funding. Also under the auspices of this division is communication with the Ministry for the university’s economic plan and the resulting drawing on funds.

The budgeting of all individual chair budgets and central university administration is managed by this division. At the moment, the division prepares single-entry annual reports; the necessary final work is underway for the introduction of commercial accounting. The university’s staffing plan is also managed in this division.

The accounting for RWTH Aachen is handled by the in the Division for Accounts Management and Bursar. All receipts that have to be approved for payment are handled by the division as are the areas liquidity planning and cash investments. Also located in this department are the areas disbursements and sales tax matters.

In the Division for Purchasing and Assets Accounting all purchases are managed from pencils to tenders for major scientific equipment. Procurements made in conjunction with construction measures are handled by the Department of Facility Management. To ensure continuity in the process, Assets Accounting is also assigned to this department.

Within the Division for External Funding and Taxes, a unit deals with the process of concluding external funding contracts right up to their administration and end.
