Financial compliance and reporting to regulators is now an all-year-round task for academy trusts. But to truly succeed, it's important to meet these requirements and strive towards excellence in your academy trusts financial management.
To accurately budget, forecast and ensure long-term financial stability, it’s important that trusts can analyse their financial results and understand how their performance compares to their peers.
That’s why we publish our annual Academy trust benchmarking report each year, giving you an overview of sector trends and key operational margins.
Our Academy Accounts Workshop is your go-to resource for mastering year-end academy accounts preparation.
This comprehensive five-part video series for academies and schools provides a thorough overview of academy financial reporting, accounts preparation, audit requirements, and the use of Buzzacott's specialised Excel templates for preparing statutory accounts. Presented by experts from our Charity and Not-for-Profit team, the series ensures that viewers gain the critical knowledge needed to effectively prepare their academy's accounts.
Understanding and setting an effective and realistic reserves policy is a key part of an academy trust’s financial planning and there’s no denying the importance of maintaining adequate reserves, but how do you ensure you’re balancing the needs of today’s pupils versus tomorrow’s?
A board focuses on where it can make its greatest impact, and in doing so, trustees often make assumptions, well-informed or not, about the processes and knowledge that form part of a normal day-to-day operation within academies and schools.
Board Assurance is a comprehensive guide introducing the Board Assurance Framework (BAF) and the 3 levels of assurance. Together, these practices can encourage an assurance mindset and help to reduce risks when making assumptions.
