Sakarya University publicly publishes its financial data to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible governance in alignment with SDG 16. The University discloses annual financial statements, budget allocations, expenditure details, and institutional performance indicators in accessible formats that enable public review. Financial transparency is implemented as an active governance mechanism throughout 2024, supported by formal policy structures and comprehensive public reporting.
During the 2024 calendar year, financial transparency was ensured primarily through the publication of the Annual Administrative Activity Report, which presents detailed financial information including budget distribution, spending categories, investment planning, performance indicators, and institutional governance evaluations. These Annual Administrative Activity Reports—identified as core transparency evidence for 2024—serve as publicly accessible documentation of the University’s financial operations and are available on the Strategic Development Department’s website.
Financial governance at Sakarya University operates under Türkiye’s Public Financial Management and Control Law No. 5018, which mandates transparent financial reporting and accountability in public institutions. In line with this national legislation, the Strategic Development Department oversees institutional financial planning, budgeting, reporting, and compliance procedures. This department functions as the central administrative unit responsible for ensuring that financial data, budget outcomes, and performance reports are accurately produced, reviewed, and published.
Institutional transparency is further reinforced through the University’s Institutional Policies on Transparency and Accountability, which emphasize ethical administration, responsible allocation of financial resources, and open sharing of financial and administrative information with the public. These policies constitute an essential governance framework that underpins the University's commitment to ethical conduct, public trust, and continuous performance reporting.
Through the combination of publicly available financial reports, structured institutional governance mechanisms, and policy commitments to transparency and accountability, Sakarya University demonstrates a robust and verifiable system for financial transparency during 2024.
