Who this guide is for

This Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) audit guide is designed to help local authorities gain assurance that institutions are administering the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund correctly. It will be of interest to local authority chief financial officers, directors of children’s services, heads of children’s services finance and heads of internal audit.

The guide is not mandatory. Local authorities (LAs) must consider the risks to funding and need for assurance for their own direct provision, including local authority maintained schools with sixth forms, but it is for chief financial officers to determine whether and how work is undertaken to enable them to make their grant returns to ESFA.
