We work with a number of academy schools around the UK and have previous experience of working with their predecessors; grant-maintained schools. As such, we understand that independence from your Local Authority is likely to require improved internal controls for your school’s finances.
Whether you are thinking of converting to academy school status or have already done so, we can help you with the complex array of issues you will need to deal with from best value audit and accounts preparation to fundraising and VAT issues. We will provide you with an independent opinion on your financial situation and recommend any necessary adjustments or improvements to your controls and processes for future years.
