Property Management in university is to provide adequate physical and organizational
conditions for the efficient implementation of the processes of teaching, research and logistics.
This is accomplished through:
- ensuring user’s safety and proper maintenance of the facilities,
- to ensure proper energy management in university buildings according to the Energy Law,
- ongoing maintenance of university’s infrastructure according to its purpose,
- ensuring adequate economic and financial management ,
- the preparation of audits, analyses and expertise in the field of the maintenance of
university’s property.
The main instrument for administrating of the university assets is property management
plan, which brings together a wide range of operational, tactical and strategic planning.
The report has submitted the functions, the stages of preparation and a sample content of
such plan.
Finanse Mangement
The base of every activity undertaken by the university, including scientific research and
didactics is financial security, which means appropriate level of income and financial liquidity. In
the times of innovative university, knowledge commercialization gains on importance. It means the
necessity for the universities to run a coherent knowledge and intellectual property management
policy, as well as to grow business activities, which in turn may subsequently become a source of
additional funds to finance transfer of technology. All of this requires, that the financial
management of universities running diverse, overlapping activities , with budgets in many cases
running into hundreds of millions zlotys, must be conducted in the professional way, with help of
modern tools like integrated IT systems and including risk factor.
The functioning of the university in the competition environment forces the entire business is
based on the economic balance. This results in the necessity to introduce the cost accounting of
activities (projects, contracts), and budgeting at the level of cost centers. Linked to this there is
a need for implementation of controlling, i.e. ongoing monitoring of the planned costs and
revenues, and conducting the variance analysis. Regular financial analysis is used to optimize
operational and strategic decisions. Development strategy should be the basic document for each
university. Financial-material plan for the calendar year should be rooted in it.
In order to develop, the university must have a working capital, i.e. the excess of current
assets over current liabilities. This means the dependence of ongoing activities on the projected
development, and on the other hand the need to manage cash flow in the annual and multi-annual
basis. This also implies the requirement of the management of all university assets (tangible and
intangible), including the possible conversion of assets (planned liquidation/sale of certain assets
to acquire another preferred).
Financial management should be supported by available IT tools, which make essential
easier decision making process in the area of university finances. Universities using integrated
informatics systems (like ERP) confirm their usefulness.
An important point for the functioning of the university under conditions similar to business is
the selection of the optimal structure of financial management
