Office of Controlling and Risk Management
Controlling is responsible for providing the information needed to help decision-makers in the strategic planning and operational management of the university. Tasks are divided into three main areas:
- Financial controlling with budget and investment planning
- Reporting (e.g. third-party funding and personnel reports) and service point for Central Reporting, with the help of the cognos business intelligence system
- Risk management
Risk Management identifies possible structural, strategic, financial, and organizational risks for the university and evaluates them under consideration of their probability of occurring and of the potential damage. The team then indicates the measures to be taken, where necessary.
Risk Management Commissioner
The Risk Management Commissioner’s task is to further develop TU Dortmund University’s risk report – i.e. to identify, analyze, assess, and systematically present risks in order to indicate suitable measures, if necessary. The commissioner is in charge of risk management and also heads the university’s Risk Management Task Force.
The Office of Controlling and Risk Management reports directly to the Chancellor and works closely with the Vice President Finance.
