Academy trusts: late financial returns 2017 to 2018

Published 6 November 2018

Applies to England

1. Introduction

During the academic year 2017 to 2018, ESFA required academy trusts to submit the following financial returns by the deadlines listed below.

Return	Submission deadline
Financial statements	31 December 2017
Accounts return	19 January 2018
Budget forecast return outturn	21 May 2018
Budget forecast return	30 July 2018

Submitting financial returns on time is an essential requirement of the Academies Financial Handbook. Compliance with the financial accountability and assurance framework allows ESFA to oversee the financial health of the sector and provide assurance to Parliament and the public about how public money is spent.

The vast majority of academy trusts submitted their financial returns on time, but in order to improve compliance with the submission deadlines and, in fairness to the trusts who do submit their returns on time, we have introduced a policy of naming those academy trusts who were late with 2 or more of the above deadlines. This was explained in the letter from the ESFA chief executive to all academy trusts on 13 December 2017 and repeated in the letter on 5 March 2018, which reminded trusts of the importance of timely submissions of financial returns and stated that we would name those that failed to submit returns on time on 2 or more occasions.
