Strategic Planning of Resources
Financial viability and strength
Our ability to enhance the student experience depends on the availability of financial resources.
Ensure the availability of capital and operating funds to meet strategic objectives by:
- Optimizing our financial structure and working capital.
- Determining funding requirements and assisting to secure required capital.
- Overseeing funding allocation processes and decisions.
- Managing the budget and forecasting.
Ensure that our stewardship responsibilities are met at an exemplary standard by:
- Communicating financial results and organizational performance.
- Identifying and mitigating enterprise risks.
- Defining and implementing financial policies.
- Monitoring compliance.
Build our endowment fund by:
- Successfully completing our capital campaign.
- Achieving above-average returns on investment.
- Enhancing fundraising ability and culture.
By 2010, our endowment fund will increase from the current $90M to more than $150M. The availability of financing arrangements will allow us to move forward with our strategic priorities. Risk management will be well established and our financial policies and internal controls will be exemplary. The University of Ottawa scorecard and the annual benchmark analysis will be part of our annual planning process and our report to the community.
