Recording a non-research project in UniFi

Externally funded consultancy, contract and services projects need to be recorded in UniFi so we can track income and expenditure correctly.

Contact your Finance Professional Services team to arrange for a new project set up in UniFi.

Financial administration and reporting:

See the Contract Research and Grants Financial Management Procedures for more information about:

• managing income and expenditure
• charging for products and services
• reporting, financial statements and audit certification requirements.

Contact your Finance Professional Services team if there are any changes to your project, such as:

• the project is extended
• you receive funding from an additional source
• the person who authorises expenditure for your project (the budget holder) is leaving or needs to change for any other reason.
