An important part of the
role of school governor, particularly of an academy, is to ensure
accountability to the community and one obvious element of this is the production
of audited final accounts that set out how the funding has been used for the
benefit of the pupils; today’s finance committee perused the draft statutory
accounts with gritty bemusement as compliance with both government guidance and
charity accounting standards leads to production of a mass of information
analysed every which way, but seeing the wood for the impenetrable forest is a
challenge even for me as a seasoned bean-counter - if it’s accountable only to
accountants where’s the accountability?
