University of Melbourne Financial Statements 2005

Council agreed to the following recommendations of the Finance Committee from its meeting of 17 March 2006:

• to adopt the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005 as circulated, noting that a qualification would arise from the University’s treatment of income in advance on research projects, and also noting that minor corrections might still arise from discussions with the Auditor-General’s staff ; and
• that Council authorise the Vice-Chancellor and the Vice-Principal and Chief Financial Officer to sign the financial statements on behalf of the University.
