Important Information

During the comment process you are connected to a database. Like internet banking, the session that connects you to the database may time-out due to inactivity. If you do not have JavaScript running you will receive a message to advise you of the length of time before the time-out. If you have JavaScript enabled, the time-out is lengthy and should not cause difficulty, however you should note the following tips to avoid losing your comments or corrupting your entries:

  1. DO NOT jump between web pages/applications while logging comments.

  2. DO NOT log comments for more than one document at a time. Complete and submit all comments for one document before commenting on another.

  3. DO NOT leave your submission half way through. If you need to take a break, submit your current set of comments, take a note of where you up to and return later to make a further submission.

  4. DO NOT exit from the interface until you have completed all three stages of the submission process.

  5. If you would like a copy of the comments you made via the Bulletin Board, please email policy@rmit.edu.au and specify which document you provided feedback on and a copy of your submission will be emailed to you.

Section 4 - Schedule

(4) All bank accounts for RMIT University and Australian-based controlled entities are managed centrally by the Central Finance Operations team. Bank accounts are opened only with Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions and in accordance with the Delegations of Authority.

(5) Bank accounts in Vietnam are managed by the local Central Finance Operations team.

(6) Bank accounts in RMIT Europe are managed locally and in consultation with Central Finance Operations in Australia.

(7) Some controlled entities may operate without separate bank accounts, utilising central funding resources managed by the Central Finance Operations team.

(8) Once opened, all Investment Accounts should be linked to RMIT’s operating bank account with the current Transactional Banking Provider. This will ensure that the funds can only be deposited into nominated bank accounts independently of the person that is making an investment decision.

(9) The reason for the establishment or use of each bank account will be documented and reviewed periodically with a view to minimising the number of accounts operated.

(10) A Financial Institution Mandate must be issued defining the operating parameters of each bank account including:

  1. dealing authorities (who and what products)
  2. authorised cheque and EFT signatories, and
  3. deal confirmations.

(11)  Under no circumstances are accounts to be operated outside the mandate.
