Our department is dedicated to fostering operational excellence, ensuring compliance with funding agencies, and streamlining financial processes to facilitate groundbreaking research at GIMM.
Our Project Management team is committed to supporting GIMM laboratories during project execution, ensuring full compliance with funding agencies’ rules and deadlines. We act as the liaison between funding agencies and other GIMM departments, fostering a continuous improvement cycle and operational excellence. Our core services include monitoring project financial execution, ensuring deadlines are met, preparing and submitting financial reports, conducting audits, and providing administrative support in interactions with funding agencies.
The Procurement team supports GIMM researchers by procuring equipment, products, and services at the best overall value. We work closely with all departments and build partnerships with suppliers to achieve our goals through superior customer service and forward-thinking processes. Our focus areas include making informed purchasing decisions, maintaining and enforcing purchasing policies, managing the dispatch of purchase orders, and handling logistics for incoming products, including importation procedures and customs clearance.
Our Accounting team is dedicated to recording financial and fiscal documents accurately and on time, in compliance with established deadlines and accounting best practices. We aim to generate awareness among the research community of the operational benefits of solid bookkeeping. The core services of our Accounting team are divided into invoicing, payments and refunds, and tax/fiscal management. This includes managing GIMM and supplier invoicing, handling accounts payable, refunds, and advance payments, and overseeing tax-related matters for both human resources and suppliers.
Together, the Project Management, Procurement, and Accounting teams of the GIMM Department of Finance are committed to ensuring that GIMM’s financial operations are efficient, transparent, and supportive of the institute’s research endeavors.
