This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge to manage contracts, procurement, account payments, account records, compensation, insurance claims and the timekeeping of records to support the financial management of an incident.

Finance Officers are required to account for expenditure during an incident, manage insurance and compensation claims and/or issues, collect and record cost data and undertake a cost estimation for the incident.

An individual performing this role has the title of Finance Officer and is delegated responsibility by the Incident Controller or Logistics Officer. This role supports the Incident Controller and other members of the Incident Management Team. The finance function is generally carried out by a finance unit within the logistics section.

If the Incident Controller determines the need to expand the finance unit into a functional section, then it will become a finance section reporting directly to the Incident Controller. Authorisation to perform this role is subject to organisational policies and procedures.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
