Finance record 2015/16 - Tables 1 to 4: Guidance related to the consolidated financial statements

Version 1.1 Produced 2016-11-17

Contents:

The figures included in Tables 1 to 4 must be identical to the HEP's audited/published financial statements.

Due to the considerable changes to the Tables due to new accounting practices for 2015, HEPs are advised to see the FE/HE SORP (2015) for further details.

The previous year's restated figures must be included for comparative purposes. Direct entries are required for 2015/16. However from 2016/17 these will be pre-populated from the previous year's return.
