Information: Updated academies accounts return go-live date
The academy accounts return will go-live by Tuesday 5 November 2024. You have until Tuesday 28 January 2025 to complete your return.
Plan with your auditors to review and sign-off your return.
To enable you to prepare before the form goes live, in September 2024 we will update the:
- academies accounts return guidance
- pension statement updates
- workbook
Ensure that all your users, including your auditors, have followed the prompts to switch from the Identity and Access Management System (IDAM) to DfE Sign-in. For more information, visit the help using DfE Sign-in webpage.
Submit any questions about the accounts return, using the customer help portal.
