Dear Providers

The Department is refreshing the current list of approved providers for external assessments to schools against the Financial Management Standard.  Providers should have a minimum of 4 years audit or accounting experience in the public or private sector.  The current list will be operative from 1 April 2010 and valid until March 2012.

This is a nationwide exercise so that any school in England can request an external assessment from the final list. Please provide us with a quote by email for performing an external assessment.  Please refer to this document.

For further information on FMSiS,  please refer to our website

The deadline for this exercise is 12 March 2010.
