Annual Academies Update 2018 - NEWARK

Share this article

A free and informative update for schools and Academies – Headteachers, Bursars/Business Managers, HR Managers and Governors.

Academies specialist, Streets Chartered Accountants, is delighted to be hosting its 7th Annual Academies Update.

Whilst it is now nearly eight years since all schools were offered new found freedoms through converting to academy status, the challenges of looking after the finances and annual reporting still prevail. Equally many have to consider the wider implications of the development of Multi Academy Trusts (MATs). This is in addition to considering the challenges of balancing the books, dealing with staffing matters and safeguarding the interests of the Academy as a whole.

Given this background our 2018 Academies Update will focus on three key areas:

  • The Academies Accounts Direction for 2018 and looking to the year ahead from a financial perspective
  • Hints, tips and wisdom for enhanced financial performance and management
  • Managing staff absences
