• Assure an effective procurement system for goods and services required by the different units of the University.
• Maintain an accounting system that would generate accurate and timely financial information for decision-making.
• Ascertain the availability of funds for the operational and development needs of the University through efficient cash management.
• Maintain an efficient and effective academic information system responsive to the educational needs of the clientele and directly supportive of administrative decision-making.
• DWU accounts are audited by Price Waterhouse Coopers annually.
