Strategy, management & controlling

Controllers at the NRW police are responsible for budget planning. For this purpose, all requirement notifications for reporting are requested from the departments as part of the management planning, budget application and medium-term financial planning and then checked.

For reporting to the NRW Ministry of the Interior, the requirements must be allocated to the financial items for which the funds must be requested and totaled. In the event of high deviations from the reports from the previous year for the corresponding financial year, the causes must be analyzed. In addition, controllers prepare the draft report ready for signature and present the reasons for the deviations separately.

For the regular reporting obligations to the NRW Ministry of the Interior, a forecast of the budget funds required for the individual financial items up to the end of the financial year and the forecast funds required for the centrally financed measures is made on the basis of the dualism report (cash basis). In addition, controllers regularly prepare budget evaluations for the entire authority and the individual departments and make an initial estimate of the budget funds required within the individual cost types.

If the budget is foreseeably insufficient in individual departments, controllers draw this to the attention of those responsible for the budget and give the departments the opportunity to reprioritize and partially postpone their procurement measures.

After the budget funds have been allocated by the Ministry of the Interior NRW, controllers determine the budget funds to be made available to the departments on the basis of the management planning. In doing so, they determine a quotient for the distribution to the individual departments, taking into account specially allocated budget funds for EU projects, centrally financed measures and building rents. In doing so, they independently determine a sufficient BdH reserve to cover unexpected cost developments throughout the year.

Controllers are also responsible for the ongoing development, optimization and evaluation of processes.
