Welcome and Overview David Sturgiss 18 September 2013
The 2014 Budget Melissa Abberton
Main Factors Impacting the 2014 Budget • The MYEFO announcements in November 2012 - $11 million • The 2% Efficiency Dividend announced in April 2013 - $8 million • Removal of Facilitation Funding - $4 million • 2% Pay rise - $15.3 million • Deferral of savings to be realised from service process improvements from 2012 Admin Reviews - $7 million 18 September 2013
Main Factors Impacting the 2014 Budget • “Solving our Budget Challenges” program introduced to compensate for lost revenues • $21.450 million in savings need to be found • Of these savings $20.250 million to be found from the recurrent budget • This will still deliver a University deficit of $32.1 million in 2014 before we achieve a small surplus of $6.5 million in 2015 18 September 2013
How to Allocate the $20.250 million? • The Senior Management Group (SMG) agreed to use the Transparent Budget Model as the mechanism to deliver the savings • At the SMG retreat a number of modelling options were assessed to determine how the savings should be allocated • This has lead to some changes to the 2013 Budget Model to be adopted for implementation in 2014 18 September 2013
Distribution of the Repositioning Adjustment 18 September 2013
Changes to Allocation Rates 18 September 2013
What Else…….. • RTS is based on 60% historical and 40% performance based allocation in line with the transitional formula introduced in 2013 • Student load modelling uses actual fee rates rather than averages and calculated at AOU • No fee grandfathering from 2014 • Workers Compensation Levy % likely to rise • Pay 27 treatment • Upfront Deduction for utilities and network service charges 18 September 2013
Watch this Space…….. • A Capital Development Plan • Student Load Planning • TM1 Budget Model 18 September 2013
A Capital Development Plan • Should be part of the annual budget process • Should be based on a 6 year rolling timeframe • Integrated with the financial statements and the transparent allocation budget. • Capital expenditure levels should, as a minimum match, the overall level of depreciation expenses. • Strike an appropriate balance between minor works and major capital projects. • Priorities should be evidence based • Priorities should be determined by the SMG. 18 September 2013
Student Load Planning • PASS has developed new student load models to project commencing and continuing load by program • Will be further developed during 2014 to more fully integrate with the Budget Model for projecting tuition fees and allocatiing HECS/CGS revenues 18 September 2013
TM1 Budget Model • Performance Issues Resolved • Web based delivery increasing flexibility & portability of the model • Salary model enhancements – budget at School Level • Consistency between data input and report output • Period 9 Data and 2014 Reporting Structure Loaded • Go Live week beginning 9 September 2013 18 September 2013
