SCHOOL FUND AUDITED ACCOUNTS

 

Please note that school fund accounts must be audited annually as soon as possible after the end of the accounting year.  An auditor, who is completely independent of the school, must certify the accounts and the governing body should minute their approval of the accounts.  A copy of the audited accounts (certified statement and summary of receipts and payments), should be sent to the LEA for the attention of Finance Support, Education Financial and ICT Services.

 

An example set of accounts is enclosed for your information.

 

Further information about this can be found in the publication ‘Keeping Your Balance’ copies of which can be downloaded from the OFSTED website http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/.

 

If you have any queries regarding this please contact your Finance Support Officer.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Diane Page

Support Manager
