Finance
The finance staff are employed at the Faculty of Science and Technology and will have tasks for both the Faculty and the Department. The economists who have the most tasks at the department share office hours between the Faculty Secretariat and the Department.
The Faculty's finance section has used the UiBhjelp service portal as a system for receiving, distributing and answering questions and other inquiries from employees and students at the faculty. By reporting cases via this channel rather than e-mail to individuals, it is ensured that the inquiries will always be handled within a reasonable time, regardless of holidays and other absences with individuals.
The Faculty's financial tasks are divided between
- Business economists with responsibility for invoice processing, reimbursement of travel expenses (travel invoice) and other expenses, variable salary (hourly wage, fee) and control of bookings
- Project economists who provide support to project managers related to external projects in various phases: application, contract, operation and termination phase. This means, among other things. financial reporting, help with application budget and invoicing.
- Controllers responsible for the department's total finances, budget, forecast and accounting follow-up.
