To complete this table, providers should refer to their relevant funding body's Accounts direction through the below links:

  • HEFCW - Accounts direction
  • Scottish Funding Council - Accounts direction
  • DfENI - Accounts direction
  • Table 10 should detail the remuneration of the head of HEP over the financial reporting year and prior year. HEP’s should return data on all Heads of Providers who have been in post during the financial reporting year and prior year.

    Providers should record separately the remuneration information for every serving head of the HEP during the financial years 2019-20 and 2018-19, including all dates, even those falling outside the two financial years (e.g. if head of provider started on 1 January 2015, this should be returned as the start date of service).

    The end date of service should be left blank for the current head of the HEP at 31 July 2020, if this individual remains in position at date of submission of the HESA finance record. If the head of provider who was serving on 31 July 2020 has subsequently left, please include the date they actually left. 

    The columns in this table shows the year the data refers to and the rows relate to the type of expenditure. Each row must be completed where applicable. Further columns are provided to include more than one head of the HEP details.
