Academy Schools
Academy Status - We can help you make the grade. There are many advantages for schools that are converting into academies, including freedom from local authority control and access to public funding. However, converting into an Academy means that schools become responsible to manage unfamiliar territory such as financial reporting requirements and VAT considerations.
Anderson Barrowcliff provide schools with knowledge and experience to help bridge the gap during the transition to an Academy. We assist schools throughout the entire conversion process; from considering change to delivering the change. We work with schools and converted Academies throughout the North East of England, offering support, guidance and accountancy services through our specialist charity and education team.
As a member of the UK200Group Academy Forum we share experience from other independent firms also advising academies. Together with our membership of the national discussion forum between heads of assurance at the Education Funding Agency (EFA) and leading academy auditors, we remain at the forefront of Academy Practice.
Colleges and Further Education
At Anderson Barrowcliff we offer a range of services to our college and further education clients across the North of England. These services include external and regulatory audit in compliance with requirements set out by both the Skills Funding Agency and the Education Funding Agency.
Regularly working alongside further education and college clients provide us with the necessary experience to offer up-to-date services in accordance with complex and changing regulations of the sector. Through our membership with the UK200Group we have regular correspondence with other independent firms of chartered accountants to discuss best practice.
Private and Independent Schools
At Anderson Barrowcliff we work alongside private and independent schools throughout the North of England to ensure they are equipped with the expert knowledge to meet the requirements set out by regulatory authorities.
The knowledge and experience of working alongside independent schools provides us with the necessary expertise to give appropriate recommendations and advice concerning their finances.
Our regular involvement of working with clients in education means that we keep up-to-date with the changes in the sector. At Anderson Barrowcliff we not only have a strong portfolio of independent schools but liaise with other accountancy firms who are also members of the UK200Group, to discuss how to operate most effectively in the sector. Our dedication to providing a first-class service ensures that we are at the forefront of accountancy practice for private and independent schools.
