Having advised the government on the implementation of the academy accounts model, our involvement with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) auditors’ forum along with other large providers of academy audits has enabled us to help shape the sector’s bespoke auditing and accounting regulations. This also ensures that we are aware at an early stage of technical developments and significant updates, such as changes to the Academies Accounts Direction.
In recognition of our high standard of work for faith academies, we are a preferred supplier of financial services by Churchmarketplace. We were heavily involved in resolving an historic issue surrounding the accounting treatment of land and buildings, specific to faith academies, which has since been widely adopted across the sector.
