Understanding and implementing the ITP financial handbook
November 8 @ 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
Are you ready for the ESFA’s financial handbook? Starting from 1 August, the ESFA have set out a number of requirements and recommendations for independent training providers and employer providers relating to financial management and governance.
We’d recommend joining this deep-dive CPD session – led by funding and compliance specialist, David Lockhart-Hawkins – to explore the approaches and obligations set out in the financial handbook, what this means in practice for ITPs and the financial and governance arrangements you will need to have in place.
During the session, we’ll take you through:
- The principles, structures and requirements set out in the handbook
- Effective practice relating to governance and financial management
- DfE assurance, oversight and intervention
- What this means in practice
- The resources and cost of implementation
- The actions you will need to take
You will also receive two resources a Financial Handbook Compliance Checklist and a Risk Register Template.
