Finance and Facilities
Handling the NWU’s turnover of *R4,181 billion and total assets of up to *R4,220 billion requires people who are taking money matters seriously.
The more than 700 colleagues from Finance and Facilities are such money-wise people. They also know how to put their money where their mouths are when it comes to building the university’s future, brick by brick.
Finance and Facilities, with Elmarie de Beer as executive director, grew substantially after the recent restructuring.
This is because the financial entities, residence and catering services, as well as maintenance departments previously reported to their campus managements. They now also report to Elmarie or, in a few instances, to her directors.
Also resulting from the restructuring, an institutional-wide entity for protection services was established, with Des Ayob as director. He is one of the seven directors who have a direct reporting line to Elmarie, as set out in the organigram below.
The 2017 financial results show that these directors and their teams definitely have a secure grip on the NWU’s purse strings, while delivering modern, well-kept facilities to support our core business.
