Finance, Budgets, and Procurement
For all inquiries regarding departmental budgets, the processing of purchase orders, or the submission of payment requests, please consult with the Finance Team. Maintaining clear and timely communication with Finance ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and that all College financial obligations are met in accordance with our auditing standards.
Financial Leadership
The College’s financial and physical resources are managed by the Business Manager, Paul Romanin. In this role, Paul oversees the strategic financial planning, infrastructure development, and overall business operations of the College to support our educational mission.
Budgetary Framework & Approvals
Marymede operates under a structured financial model to ensure equitable resource distribution:
- Domain Budgets: Each Learning Domain is allocated a specific budget based on student enrollment numbers and tuition fees.
- Planned Expenditure: It is important to note that any activity or resource not accounted for in the annual budget is unlikely to receive funding.
- Pre-Approval: For all school-related purchases, you must obtain explicit approval from the relevant budget holder before initiating any order or purchase.
Purchasing and Compliance
To remain compliant with MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools) delegation and auditing requirements, the following protocols apply:
- Purchase Order System: All goods and services must be ordered through the formal College Purchase Order system. No purchase should be made without a generated and approved PO.
- Delegation Requirements: All financial commitments must be approved in alignment with MACS delegation levels.
- Payment & Reimbursements: All invoices and authorized payment requests should be submitted to the Finance Team with the relevant documentation for prompt processing.
