UQ’s Budget Contribution Model An Overview VC Forum Head of Schools Workshop September 14, 2012

Introduction What is the BCM? BCM ~ Centre to Faculty Structure of the BCM BCM Drivers University Funding Model – BCM Distribution BCM ~ Income BCM ~ Central Overheads BCM ~ Infrastructure Support Costs UQ’s Budget Contribution Model

What is the BCM? Mechanism for distribution of income and allocation of costs Not all income Not all costs A common misconception is that the BCM is the budget The BCM is an input into the budget process UQ’s Budget Contribution Model

What is the BCM? The BCM is used to: Distribute CGS Block Grant income to Faculties and Institutes Distribute CGS Research (Secondary Gains) to Faculties and Institutes Allocate Central Overhead against Faculties and Institutes UQ’s Budget Contribution Model

What is the BCM? The following income is not included in the BCM: Research Income Trading income Investment income Donations, Scholarships and Bequests The following expenditure is not included in the BCM: Direct costs at Faculty and Institute Capital Expenditure from tied income sources UQ’s Budget Contribution Model

BCM ~ Centre to Faculty The BCM is a conduit between the Centre and the Faculties and Institutes The Faculty may in turn distribute income in accordance with its own mechanism The Faculty may allocate costs in accordance with its own mechanism Portion of Central Overhead as levied upon it Allocation of Faculty Overhead Running the Faculty Office Faculty Initiatives (Strategic) UQ’s Budget Contribution Model

Structure of the BCM Income CGS Block Grant Secondary Gains on Research (Research Block Grant) Tuition Fees Deductions Central Costs Infrastructure Support Costs (Repairs and Maintenance, Insurance) Strategic Initiatives Debt Servicing Capital UQ’s Budget Contribution Model

BCM Drivers Income distributed and costs (deductions) allocated to Faculties and Institutes on the basis of selected drivers The cost or deduction driver is not activity based costing. Has been determined as a reasonable proxy for resource usage The drivers are influenced by UQ’s strategic objectives. For example, Research EFTSL and Research secondary gains are not included in overhead calculations UQ’s Budget Contribution Model
