Details

FIS helps you get your ILR data right. You must use the right version of FIS for the academic year you’re submitting data for.

You can download FIS for free and it works offline. It does two things:

  • checks data against the validation rules and produces a validation report so you can see where data needs refining
  • calculates provisional reports – only provisional as FIS doesn’t have access to up-to-date reference data

The known issues document will tell you if ESFA is experiencing any problems with the software.

You can view all previous documents for FIS on the National Archives website.
