Entity titleDeputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Resources)Entity identifier42Entity typeAgencyDate range2000 - 2005DescriptionThe position of comptroller was created in 1966 under Statute 3.5 of the Monash University Act 1958. The former Registrar Mr F. H. Johnson became the first Comptroller responsible for "the preparation and custody of general records, registers, muniments and accounts; secretarial work of non-academic boards and committees; and correspondence other than academic". Mr Johnson retired in 1980 and was replaced by Mr L. W. Candy from 1980-86 and Mr P. B. Wade in 1986.
Following a review in 1993 the University administration was divided into six functional branches each with a Director reporting through Mr Wade who became the University's General Manager. The new position incorporated many of the responsibilities of the Registrar with those of the former Comptroller. Central administration was restructured and six new divisions were created i.e.. Campus Based Services, Facilities and Information Services, Financial Services, Personnel Services, Research Services and Student Services. The Directors of each of these divisions report directly to the General Manager. The General Manager himself reports to the Vice-Chancellor. Mr Wade retired during 1999 and in 2000 Ms Alison Crook took up the position - retitled DVC (Resources) and Vice-President. Following the retirement of Ms Crook in 2005, the responsibilities of this position were divided between two new positions - Vice-President (Finance) and Vice-President (Administration).
