The Support Office for University Controlling advises the Presidential Board on all matters of university planning and controlling and develops proposals for the strategic development of the Hochschule Niederrhein. As the central point of contact for quantitative and qualitative data, the Support Office supports the university management, the faculties and the administration by systematically collecting, processing, analyzing and providing information.
In order to cope with the complexity of the tasks of planning, management and control, the areas of strategy, academic, personnel and financial controlling as well as cost and performance accounting (KLR) are closely interlinked in the Support Office. The instruments of planning, reporting and analysis include the preparation of the university's medium-term economic and financial plans, the development of specific key figures for academic controlling, capacity and utilization calculations for studies and teaching, university statistics (student and graduate numbers, etc.) and personnel statistics. The results from the KLR are used to check whether and to what extent the use of financial resources has achieved the desired success.
Currently, the Support Office is supporting the development of the new university development plan (HEP 2022-2026), developing proposals for its controlling and the design of target and performance agreements, providing data and analyses for the implementation of the Future Contract for Teaching Education and Studies (ZSL), and developing strategic personnel cost planning and new data management and reporting instruments (projects: Data Warehouse/ Management Cockpit/ Optimization of the KLR).
