Dear Colleague,
We are delighted that we can finally release the updated Excel FRS Report Template V1.701, along with revised Guidelines documentation, on our Budgets website page for your immediate use. We are very aware of the time this has taken but we hope that you find this version of the FRS Report considerably more convenient, useful, and efficient than previous ones. Please ensure that you read the Guidelines before use as there have been some significant changes from the previous version – notably only one revised extract report from Bromcom which you will need to set up correctly. If you experience any problems, then do contact your FCON in the first instance or failing that contact our email inbox finance.financeschools-mailbox@devon.gov.uk and we will respond directly.
Once you have the FRS Report working, I am sure that you will be wanting to use it for many reasons. However, in any case we would ask that you provide the Inclusion and Learning Finance Team with the latest monitoring position, through this latest FRS Report release, by the end of the Autumn Half Term holidays, or earlier if convenient. We will then revert to the normal schedule of returns, as stated on the website, being another return no earlier than 11th November but by the close of Autumn Term.
Thank you for your forbearance in this matter,
Adrian Hilliard Senior Accountant [Schools]
