Management and Finance
FMSiS Video Training
Welcome to Devon Audit and Finance Services video training page.
The purpose of the videos are to introduce the Financial Management Standards in Schools, and provide opportunity to guide you to support to help you achieve the FMSiS. The videos are very short, 2 – 3 minutes each, and can be viewed separately for easy access. We have completed over 30 free training sessions at venues around the County over the last few months, these videos are for those who were not able to attend these sessions, and equally, as clarification of key points for those that have.
On completion you will know:
- What the FMSiS is about;
- Where to find the website to complete the Standard ;
- How to find the model answers;
- Where to get support and help;
- How to be accredited as having achieved the FMSiS;
- What the timescales and deadlines are for achievement.
The benefits of viewing are:
- More easily be able to meet Ofsted requirements
- More easily achieve the deadlines for self assessment and accreditation to the FMSiS;
- Save time and effort in completing the self-assessment;
- Being given the model answers.
