Termly Financial Checklist, Autumn 2007

Following on from MI sheet 94/07, attached is the termly financial check list for Autumn 2007. The checklist, once completed, should be signed by the headteacher and chair of governors, and returned to me by the end of the Autumn term.

For those schools that purchase the Enhanced Finance Support Package, your Finance Support Officer will assist in the completion of the checklist during the Autumn term visit. For further details, please refer to the Services to Schools Brochure, Financial Support to Schools Section.

As mentioned in the previous MI sheet, it is envisaged that schools will receive checklists on a termly basis, covering the processes and topics that are required for that term. As the aim of this process is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of schools' financial management, I would welcome comments on ways of improving the checklist, or indications of areas that may have been omitted.
