Approximately 180 minutes.
This course is designed for School
Finance Staff who prepare or assist with preparing multi-year budgets. It is primarily intended for Essex
LA schools as the demonstration uses Essex LA tools.
The course introduces delegates to the theory behind forward planning, why it is so important, as well as providing the practical skills to produce and maintain a forward financial plan.
We will also give advice on how
the forward financial plan should link to the School Development Plan and
discuss reporting requirements.
The practical demonstration will
be using the Essex LA planning tools as example.
There is plenty of opportunity
for delegates to ask questions throughout the session.
Finish time is approximated
depending on the number of questions.
The course will be delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams
