The Financial Management Standard is a simple one page statement of the characteristics you would expect to find in a school that is well managed financially. These cover Leadership and Governance, People Management, Policy and Strategy, Partnership and Resources and Processes. Those characteristics are set out in terms of the principles to be achieved rather than the precise way they should be achieved. This reflects the fact that schools have vastly different levels of financial management resources and are organised in different ways. Nevertheless the principles of the Standard should be achievable by all schools. FMSiS applies to trust and extended schools. The Standard is supported by a comprehensive toolkit that provides best practice guidance on financial management and an assessment tool that allows a school’s position against the Standard to be determined.
