b'Executive SummaryWelcome to the annual review of Trinitys Financial Services Division (FSD) for 2022/23,which provides an outline of FSDs mission, vision and values, a summary of the Teamsachievements, along with details of key targets and actions for the coming year. We alsohighlight a selection of our stakeholder engagement initiatives, including events,workshops and seminars undertaken during the year.Over the course of the year, and in partnership with our colleagues across the University,our team has worked hard to support the Universitys strategic needs in an agile andresponsive manner, to ensure Trinity is well-placed financially to achieve its goals andobjectives and to meet challenges as they emerge. A key enabler in this regard, and an areaof strategic importance for FSD, continues to be the development of the University-wideFinancial Information System (FIS). In May 2023, the system successfully migrated to aLouise Ryan, Cloud-based platform, future-proofing this key University resource and facilitating furtherInterim Chief Financial Oicer system enhancements and development. Upgrades to our planning module (PBCS), alongwith revisions to the Budget Planning & Allocation (BPA) model (now available in the Cloudand incorporating Business Intelligence reporting tools) enhanced our Financial Planning &Analysis services, which inform University decision-making at both an operational andstrategic level. In line with our ongoing commitment to maximise technology and increaseprocess automation and digitalisation, we also delivered enhancements to AccountReconciliation Services (a cloud based integrated Oracle product) and BenefactionOperations & Reporting in Oracle and implemented a new automated invoicing system(Kefron), which now oers automated supplier statement reconciliations. Furthermore, wecontinued to refine and develop our online and digital resources and oerings, and ourworkshops and training sessions, both online and in-person, were well received andattended throughout the year.As anticipated, sustainability continues to be a significant focus for the University and, asthe scale and scope of the EUs Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) andassociated European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) became evident during theyear, FSD recognised the need for a collaborative approach across the University to ensureTrinity can meet its emerging reporting obligations. We completed a preliminaryassessmentof the CSRD and ESRS and their implications for the University, reporting to the FinanceCommittee and advising on next steps. Our Procurement Team, a key enabler of futurecompliance and reporting, is collaborating closely with internal stakeholders (including theSustainability Oice) along with suppliers to measure, manage and improve Trinitys supplychain impact.'
