Spring Financial Checklist

Following on from MI sheet 143/07, attached is the termly financial check list for Spring 2008. The checklist, once completed, should be signed by the Headteacher and Chair of Governors, and returned to Finance Support by the end of the Spring 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 Spring 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. In response to comments received from schools on ways of improving the checklist, it is now listed in month order to facilitate tracking what needs to be actioned throughout the term.

This document will be reviewed at the end of the Spring term so further comments are welcomed on ways of improving the checklist, or indications of areas that may have been omitted.
