The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) has recently made various announcements that will impact on the financial rules that govern academy trusts.
Academy trusts are facing a busy period in advance of submitting accounts to the ESFA by the 31st December and the new rules, some of which came into force on the 1st September, need to be implemented now to ensure they are compliant.
Chris Beaumont, Partner, has drafted a newsletter that outlines how these changes may affect academy trusts. It also provides some clarity around the new guidance and what actions are needed to ensure compliance.
