Contents:

The figures included in Tables 1 to 3 must be identical to the HEP's audited/published financial statements.

Due to the considerable changes to the Tables due to new accounting practices from 2019, HEPs are advised to see the FE/HE SORP (2019) for further details.

Table 1 - Consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expenditure

1. Table 1 is a consolidated statement of comprehensive income and expenditure account in the financial statements.
2. Where 'material' items have been disclosed as additional lines on the face of the published accounts, this item must be incorporated within the appropriate Head in Table 1. In addition, such items must be disclosed separately in Table 9.

Table 2 - Consolidated balance sheet

3. Table 2 is the consolidated balance sheet in the financial statements, with some additional detail.
4. Head 2f Other (e.g. assets for resale) is included for anything else that is a one-off and is not covered by the other current assets heads, for example assets for resale.
5. The split for Head 3 (Creditors - amounts falling due within one year) is included for use by Funding Councils. This differs slightly from Note 22 in the Model Financial Statements.
6. The split for Head 7 (Creditors - amounts falling due after more than one year) is also included for Funding Councils. This differs slightly from Note 23 in the Model Financial Statements.
