The documents are available in open document spreadsheet format as well as in Microsoft Excel.
Contact
Between March and May 2016, Deloitte will apply the validation tests to academy trusts’ 2014 to 2015 accounts returns. In carrying out the validation, Deloitte will contact some academy trusts on EFA’s behalf in order to resolve any queries. They will raise only one set of queries, where possible.
