BUDGETING CONTROL IN TERTIARY INSTITUTION

Budgeting appears to be the solution to the advancement of our students in tertiary institution management.  To get things done in tertiary institution is through budgeting.  For us to achieve a very solid purpose as regard the role of budgeting in tertiary institution we need a well defined budgeting because budgeting controls every establishment in tertiary institution. i.e ESUT permanent site which will soon be a side of attraction to the whole institution in Enugu state.

ACCOUNTING IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

The tertiary institution, unlike commercial banks and other non-profit making organizations they employ in all their accounting processes, the principle of double entry book keeping which says debt, the receivers and credit the givers.

The financial reports of non profit trading organization such as the universities should be presented in the form of an income and expenditure account together with a balance sheet.

The various accounts used to record the incomes and expenditure account of an institution/organization are shown below.

All federal government funded institutions in Nigeria have a common accounting period (financial year) in all these institutions the highest financial decision are taken by their respective governing council, with responsibility of handling all their financial functions.

(c)              It can help to import foreign books where students should be making research for their project in other to have a very good information in relation to the topic they choose as their project topic.

(d)             It can help in building class room for the department that has not gotten permanent place for their studies ie banking and finance department are using presently mechanical blocks for their studies both NDI and ND II but I believe strongly that through a well defined budget those blocks can be made available and it will even help them more in studying the problems that HND I and ND I encounter will be solved entirely I think it should be worked on by good budgeting.

(e)              It can be an avenue which banking and finance department can have their own block conducive for learning instead of fighting with other department in anticipation to get their own permanent block for learning.
