w:\html\admin\Finance\MBH Operating Plan Submission MAIN BUDGET HOLDERS: OPERATING PLAN SUBMISSION and SUBSEQUENT ALLOCATIONS

The JAC Operating Plan is normally published in October/November.  The OP forms the planning assumptions for the coming financial year.  It also forms the requests for funding from the various agencies and part of the Board papers issued in November.

The template will be sent out by the Finance Officer, about September, to each of the Main Budget Holder (MBH) showing the Activity Codes (T3 codes) they are responsible for.  The template will show the current financial years allocation. The MBH will be asked to complete the recurrent expenditure requests for the coming financial year.  The allocations are zero based budgets and require justification for each item of expenditure. (See example below).  A separate column is available for one-off items specific to the coming financial year.  If large priced procurement items are to be purchased, if may be advantageous for MBHs to obtain initial quotes for these items where it is reasonable and practical to do so. This could result in much more accurate estimating.  The completed template should be returned to the Finance Officer.

All requests for funding will be collated by the Finance Officer and form part of the JAC Operating Plan and Board Papers.  

In February, the Finance Officer will issue the completed template back to the MBH and ask if there has been any change to their original requests.  The MBH will return the template back indicating any change to the original Operating Plan request.

This will then be collated again and any changes to the Operating Plan/Board figures will be submitted to the funding agencies.  Once all has been agreed these figures will form the basis for the release of allocations at the beginning of the new financial year.
