The vision of the Project Team for the Finance and Procurement Management System is to provide a true user-friendly, modern graphical user interface business solution to the financial management of the University of Central Lancashire.


This will be achieved by implementing a system which allows total flexibility to adapt to the perpetual change being experienced in the Higher Education Sector.  The aims are as follows;

  • To develop initiatives whilst reducing administrative overheads and duplication of effort.

  • To provide a fully integrated system, readily accessible via the University network.

  • To deliver true financial performance monitoring to the desk top to support decision making.

  • To deliver the latest object and client/server technology incorporating management information tools, such as integrated workflow.

  • To enable fax, e-mail and document imaging facilities for all prime documentation, such as purchase orders and sales orders.

  • To develop enhanced Web enablement.

  • To support devolved budgetary control, devolved purchasing, commitment accounting and comprehensive authorisation  in line with Financial Regulations.

  • To provide better 'value for money' when purchasing goods and services for the University.

  • To support HE National Guidelines for standardised coding.

  • To ensure compliance with the University's Financial Regulations, Purchasing Policy and Procedures thus providing robust accountability and audit trails.
