1. Action: academies budget forecast return – outturn

We’d like to remind academy trusts that the deadline for submitting your budget forecast return: outturn (BFRO) is Friday 19 May.

We’ve produced a guide to completing and submitting the BFRO. This can be found on GOV.UK.

If you are having difficulties completing or submitting your BFRO, please contact our enquiry service.

2. Information: academies accounts return 2016 to 2017

We’re expecting the academies accounts return for 2016 to 2017 to be a similar online form to that used for 2015 to 2016 with improvements and enhancements based on feedback we received following last year’s exercise. We will make sure that this form is properly and extensively user tested before we issue it.

We will issue the accounts return for 2016 to 2017 on 1 October 2017. The deadline for completion, audit clearance and submission will be 19 January 2018.
