The last 20 years were spent in accounts and finance. He has experience in the budgeting and costing of both academic and technical programmes and the preparation of the annual budgets and financial statements of the institution. The delivery of programmes in a non traditional or flexible modality brought new and previously unknown considerations to the budgeting, costing and financing process of the institution. This development has been most challenging and at the same time most exciting. Mr. Pinder believes he has acquired the technical and financial skills to develop and/or design an accounting and financial management system and business model for any size or type of educational institution. | |
