Meet The Team Event
The Finance Business Partnering Team are organising several events this year to help meet your training needs. You’ll be able to meet colleagues in an informal networking setting and that refreshments will be available at each event!
Sarah Terry, Debbie Howard, and Sarah Cornelius, who make up the newly formed Business Partnering Team, want to ensure that anyone involved in finance processes has a say into the financial systems at Kent University; be it raising purchase orders, journals, commentary for reports or who have overall responsibility for planning and budgeting; can come together, network to resolve shared problems and gain a better understanding of how and why procedures must be in place to meet financial objectives and to ensure Kent meets its regulatory obligations.
The first event will take place between 10am – 12noon on Tuesday 1st November 2022 in the Darwin Boardroom and be an opportunity to meet the team and allow us to:
- Give an overview of the team’s responsibilities
- Update you on the types of training we will be offering and organising
- Hear your feedback and training requests
- Get to know you better
We hope as many of you as possible will be able to drop-in to this initial event.
We will be scheduling more events once we know your needs better. We are already considering targeted events such as:
- UBW help drop-in session – system support, specific processing queries, an overview of how they can support you.
- Procurement drop-in session – why raise requisitions and purchase orders, how to raise them, benefits of correct coding, ensuring available budgets.
We’re sure there are other areas where training and advice can really help you, so please come along on the 1st of November to help us shape your support.
Do not be shy, we are all nice friendly people ready to help you.
Please email financebusinesspartnering@kent.ac.uk to let us know if you’re coming.
