Education
The education sector is integral to shaping future generations, with schools, colleges, and universities continuously evolving to meet growing demands and changing regulations. As this sector faces unique challenges, it requires specialised support to navigate its complexities, ensure sustainability, and maintain high standards of governance.
The education sector plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of individuals and societies, demanding specific, sector-focused expertise in financial management. Educational institutions, ranging from schools to universities, need to navigate complex financial landscapes, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations while maintaining robust financial health.
Reckoner Audit is recognised as one of the leading Academies Specialist Auditors in the UK. We work closely with Academy Trusts and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) to provide ESFA-compliant statutory audits, financial reporting, internal controls reviews, and governance assurance. Our team understands the unique regulatory requirements set by the Department for Education (DfE) and the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), ensuring full compliance for every academy we support.
Many schools and trusts choose Reckoner Audit because of our reputation as experienced academies auditors in the UK and as proactive accountants for academies and trusts, offering year-round advisory support rather than limiting our involvement to the year-end audit process.
Whether you are a growing MAT, a standalone academy, or a newly converted school, our academies audit team delivers tailored support designed to strengthen financial management, ensure compliance with the Academies Accounts Direction (AAD), and improve long-term financial sustainability.
